Notes on school budgets for the year 39/⟦...⟧
(1) Revenues
School Fees
The most striking thing in these budgets is the fees section, which is the main source of
revenues. These fees have been estimated at 11,081 Dinars, of which 2,840 Dinars are from Shamash School
and 5,700 from the Albert Sassoon and Laura Kadoorie schools. By comparing the total fees for the year 39/940 with the total
fees actually collected in the year 937/36, amounting to 5,625 Dinars, it appears that the figure has doubled
almost within a period of less than three years. In the committee's belief, these successive increases in fees
must inevitably be accompanied by:
1) Increasing efficiency in the level of teaching, whether by retaining existing qualified staff
actually by giving them their entitlements or appointing those with qualifications for vacant positions.
2) Creating the necessary means to facilitate study, such as laboratories and libraries.
3) Making the necessary furniture and completing other deficiencies.
(2) Expenses
The most striking thing in the expenses is:
1) 1,100 Dinars were allocated in the expenses section, of which 504 Dinars are to be spent on necessary repairs
for the Albert Sassoon school building, which was in dire need of renovation. Of this
amount, 574 Dinars have been spent so far, and 230 Dinars to complete the deficiencies of the new Masouda Salman school building.
2) 288 Dinars were allocated, of which 220 Dinars are for making individual desks for the fourth and fifth
secondary students at Shamash School, furnishing and improving the laboratory, and 40 Dinars for renewing ⟦...⟧
Masouda Salman, and 28 for making desks in the National School and improving the laboratory.
3) As for the increases that affected salaries, they are of two types:
A- Increases given to some qualified individuals, especially teachers of ⟦...⟧
Shamash to retain them. B- Simple increases given to junior ⟦...⟧
five Dinars, considering that they have been affected by the high cost of living as a result of ⟦...⟧
severe, and that it is an act of chivalry to add simple increases to their meager salaries ⟦...⟧
family and performing their duties as they should.
While the committee recognizes that there are others who deserve consideration, it has left th⟦...⟧
for economy.

Next year for these students and others
Rents
1) The Al-Bersasoun school used to collect one hundred dinars annually from the Nouriel school
as rent for the classrooms occupied by the students of this school in the Al-Bersasoun school building. Since
efforts are focused on growing the amount allocated for constructing a building for the school, the committee decided to cancel this rent
to add it - along with the surplus of the Nouriel budget - to the amount allocated for constructing a building for this school
2) As for the rent of the Masouda Salman school, amounting to 175 dinars, it is set
to repay the amount borrowed from the Council for construction, which is merely a bookkeeping transaction
(3) Allocations
Our committee has found it necessary to assist the Noam school, given that its revenues are insufficient to cover
expenses and the existence of a previous deficit. An amount of 255 dinars was allocated to it in the new budget, and the budget of
the Menashe Saleh school, which was approved last academic year with a deficit of 168 dinars, has been approved
this year on the basis of covering all expenses without leaving any further deficit
It is necessary to draw attention to the fact that all these matters were completed without increasing the total allocations
of the schools from the Lay Council by any significant increase. The total allocations requested for the year 1939/1940
have now reached 6845 dinars compared to 6075 dinars last year
