Warsaw Community Schools Board on Wednesday approved a preliminary budget of approximately $38 million for 1997. The proposed budget is a 3.7 percent increase over last year's actual budget.The final amount and tax rate will not be set until later this year, after the school corporation receives the figures on the district's assessed valuation. The $38 million comprises five funds: general, debt service, transportation, capital projects and handicapped preschool. About half the total budget comes from the state.The rest is raised through property taxes, bank and excise taxes, and miscellaneous revenue. Rande Thorpe, WCS business manager, said after the meeting that almost 70 percent of the budget goes to the general fund for salaries and benefits.However, the school district must make up for some expenses once covered by the state.
