School Trustees Approve Budget

Fountain Valley School District trustees have given final approval to a budget for 1997-98.
A key tenet of the spending plan is $16 million for teachers’ salaries to continue the district’s class-size reduction program, which officials said led to significant improvement in test scores among second-graders.
Results from the national Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills among second-graders showed an 8% increase in percentile rankings over the previous year, officials said. They credited the program, which limits enrollment in each class to 20 students for each teacher.
