Citizens Unit
Fights School
Budget Cuts

The Twinbrook Citizens Asso-
citation is circulating a petition
through its area urging the Mont
gomery county council not to
break faith with the people of
the county but to restore the
school budget to its original form.
The petition says the So million
cut in the construction budget
and the ST million cut in the oper-
ating budget would cause a
sharp deterioration in our school
system"
1t reminds the council that all
of the present members ran on
a platform (which pledged whole
hearted cooperation with the
school board to assure good
school standards" and tells the
board the residents of TWinbrook
firmly believe that any cut in
the budget as proposed by the
board would be a violation of
this pledge"
The petition also says that the
signerS are willing to assume
ANY added tax burden which is
needed to maintain adequate
schools for our children"
Leighton Dudley, association
president, said the association
was actively opposing the school
budget cuts proposed by county
manager Melvin Reese because
good schools in a democratic
form of government are an alb
solute necessity and are not a
luxury on which we can save
money"
He pointed out that although
the Twinbrook area is tentatively
scheduled to obtain the elemen-
tary school construction original
ly scheduled for the area despite
the proposed budget cut, many
area residents feel strongly that
the entire budget should be sup
ported because the cuts threaten
the entire school system.
A proposed reduction in appro-
priations for the Rockville Jun.
ior High School he termed a
false economy" because an addi-
ton to the new building will be
needed as soon as the school is
built, adding that this not only
is more expensive but would
mean double sessions would be
needed before the addition would
be ready.
