dinator in- September, will lose another one and onehalf persons and be reduc # ed to a. professional staff of three and one-half people "I am trying to get the state Department of Education to let me keep the most fluid persons, ones able' to cover a number of areas, so I can cover all our functions.”

said

Bongart said his office, cuts are part of a state Education Department reorganization and will take place even if the Legislature alleviates the state's fiscal crisis. The office’s threemember secretarial staff and its space at Crest Haven'are supplied by the

county.

CAPE MAY COUNTY, -'Bongart pointed out. relieves a relatively small amount of state aid to education because it is "considered to be a very richcounty." That deterihination is based, he explained, on dividing the county’s equalized assessed valua lion of $5.5 billum by the

number of public school students - 12,372 in September' The result: equalized assessed valuation of some $486,000 per

student.

The disparity between in dividual communities is

' great, however, ranging

from $42,873 per student in Woodbine, to $^.7 million in Stone Harbor. ‘ Because of their high property- values. Avalon. Cape May Point. Stone Harbor and the county vocational district receive bo state aid based on equalization With the latest cuts. Bengali' said. . Cape May, West Cape May Sea Isle City, Wildwood,, Wildwood Crest. North Wildwood an.d W Wildwood also will receive no state aid based

equalization.

UNDER THE proposed cuts, county districts would have the following reduc

tions in state bid:

Avalon. $1.6^5. Cape May City, $l.«l; Gape May County Vricational. $4,917: Cape May Point. $208. Dennis Township, $21,309; Lower Cape May

Regional,-$27,825.

Also Lower Township, $18,860; Middle Township, , $46,074; North Wild^oodr $3,847; Ocean City, $19,799; Sea Isle City. $4,497; Stone Harbor, $1,146; Upper

that the newest cuts come in the .wake of $83 million In reductions made in June’ which represented 8^0 per

cent of state aid.

"Thre? per cent may not seem like a significant number," he said, "but this has. a pyramiding effect. "It ma'y m£an the elimina- • lion. of a teacher where there are seven or eighty now, or it may) mean the elimination of/entire, program’s. The/only other choice, if yob. need the money to dtf the job, is to pass th^Jcost on to local
