which includes removal of all
the CAPS on operating and
transportation aid.
Holly, describing her gratitude
to the district's two State legis­lators,
said she and her board
were "ecstatic" that "for the
first time in six years the CAP
has been removed."
According to earlier reports
from the Baldwin School District,
its taxpayers will go to the polls
on June 10th to vote on a budget
that will result in a tax increase
of Sl.92 per $100 assessed

would • have given Freeport
about SI.5 million in State Aid
over the current year, and the
Governor's . plan would have
meant only $1,203,778 more than
the district is now receiving.
The difference between the
Governor's proposal and the one
agreed upon by the State Legis­lature
is $608,670. According
to 'Freeport school sources,
each $8,000 means about one
cent on the tax rate so the
