The school district predicts a $2 million dollar surplus from mineral leases along with $1.7 million in state cuts. The district proposes putting two-thirds of the surplus in reserve, and one-third into the general fund. What do you think of the proposal?

Save some to clean up the enviroment (water) and the cancer causing benzene.Reserve some for cancer treatment for those getting it from the waste that have no insurance.Good luck with planning on an industry that is on its way out(peak oil is now over like it or not)
