Honorable Farris Bryant
State Representative, Marion County
Ocala, Florida

Dear Farris:

The State Department of Education and the County Superintendent's
Association plan to request a deficiency appropriation for Section
236.03 Recslculation Funds for the 1053-1955 biennium. I thought
that you would be interested in knowing how the appropriation would
affect Marion County. The total additional funds needed to meet
recalculation provisions {or 534055 biennium for Marion County
amount to $14,449.

The. deficit under the provision of the Recalculation Act in l953-54
was $1,925 {or the county. The deficit for l954-1055 was $IZ. 524.

The recalculation is based on the average daily attendance increase
each year over the previous year in excess of five per cent. Our
increase in 1053-34 was 5.30 percent over the previous year. The
increase in lS4~SS was 6.35 over the previous year.

We need these funds very badly as we reduced our maintenance budget
by 25 per cent this term to take care of increased enrollments and
our operating reserve has been reduced to practically nothing. 1 hope

that you will help us secure these funds.

Forty- {our counties will be affected by this deficiency appropriation
wh ch will total $3. Ill.223.

I will be glad to discuss this matter or any other proposed school
legislation with you at your convenience.

Sincerely yours.
