Frugal,
Yet Effective:
Your Dalton Local
Schools are both academically excellent and fiscally
responsible.
The Need
It is predicted that the Dalton Local School District
will have an indebtedness of $78,629
by the end of next fiscal year. Since 2001, the
district has utilized its cash reserves to maintain
present programs and services offered to the youth
of our communities.
The chart below graphically shows how cash reserves

The Reason
The district has experienced normal inflation
in its operating expenses. That, coupled with
relatively flat revenue growth in local and state
funds, has forced the district to maintain present
programs and services by spending its cash reserves.
The Solution
For the Board of Education to generate the necessary
revenue to offset the district’s predicted
deficit, it is now essential that we pass Issue
8 this coming November 4.
The Board firmly believes that our community desires
to continue the tradition.
The Tradition
Tradition. It’s
as much a part of the Dalton and Kidron communities
as family, fresh air, and hard work. We are conservative
people, but we are also proud. Proud of our community.
Proud of our heritage. Proud of our ingenuity
and our accomplishments. And, proud of our schools. Over
the years, the Dalton and Kidron. . . More
