25 YEARS AGO: The Ripon Unified School District had to cut $60,000 in supplies and equipment, and borrow $92,000 from reserves to balance its $8.3 million budget for the 1992-93 school year. The withdrawal from the reserve account left the district with $650,000 in reserves, roughly one month’s wages and benefits. Distict Superintendent Joseph O’Leary said that the district was expecting enrollment numbers to be higher than the previous year, enough to generate new revenue funds to offset the $92,000 borrowed.
