By SUSAN TODD Of The Morning Call School administrators in the Carbon County area say it may be another week before they know how their districts will be affected by the windfall of new school funding state legislators included in the 1991-92 budget. "Quite frankly," said Jim Thorpe Area Schools Superinten- dent Thomas Sangiuhano, I don think anyone in Harrisburg knows how this will work. Sangiuhano said the state secretary of education sent school administrators a communication on Tuesday, informing them that it would take about 10 days for officials to determine just how the state Legislature's budget provisions would affect local districts.

"They don't want the districts to squirrel away any of the mon- ey," Sangiuhano said. "We passed a 9Vi-mill increase. We're not squirreling that money away. If we get more money, then we might have a $20,000 surplus, but I don't know that" State officials, who pumped the long-awaited state budget with hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, also stipulated that if local school districts received more mon former Bethlehem public works director Georee A.

Tamaqua Schools Superintendent H. Bruce Geiger said his dis- trict could receive $147,000 more than administrators anticipated. But Geiger said it was his un-derstanding that three things -could happen with the money: It could be returned to taxpayers; put into escrow to reduce future tax increases; or used to finance projects like buildings, which may not be contained yet in the district's spending plan. "None of this is clear," Geiger said. "We received information from the state today advising us to wait 10 days before we go to our boards" and begin reworking the budgets.

Administrator after administra-; tor said the arrangement, right now, is clouded with questions and uncertainty. 1 "It's a complex situation," Pal- merton Superintendent Ron Mihal-ko said yesterday. "We have no information on how much money we're going to be getting. I think it's a confusing issue." Mihalko and others said area administrators expect to meet next Thursday to discuss the budget She said they feared anti-abortion legislators, led by state Rep. Stephen Freind, would attach "gag rule" requirements to the money if it were an explicit line-item.

A "gag rule" would prohibit organizations from talking about abortion if they accepted the money. The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld the constitutionality of a federal gag-rule. "The reason we took it out of the line-item is Freind was screaming about gag rules and things," Ritter said. Pennsylvania's Legislature, led by Freind, a Delaware County Republican, is decidedly anti-abortion.

Family-planning centers such as Planned Parenthood, which mention abortion in their counseling, have said they will not accept money with such restrictions. So the program was moved in with the WAMs. "It was about to be sabotaged from the outside," Ritter said, adding: "I would like to see it as a line-item at some point." The issue became a non-issue when the money was cut by House and Senate negotiators to reduce the size of the state's tax increase, said Rep. Dwight Evans, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. In all, $150 million was sliced from the spending plan late last week, Evans said.

Freind, the anti-abortion leader schools funds are Hidden budget fund for famjly planning cut at last moment provision and what procedures will be followed to handle the excess funding. When school officials were formulating their spending plans in June, many of them complained that they had no idea how much aid they would be receiving from the state for things like special education. Lehighton Schools Superintendent Shirley Ball said it is unlikely taxpayers in her district will receive a rebate. "We're pretty sure we're not going to have a rebate here," Ball said. "I could be wrong, but until I have all the figures, I can't even speak intelligently about what's going to happen." Ball said administrators deliberately waited until "the last minute" to present school officials 7 with a budget because of questions surrounding the state budget.

"We wanted to present a reasonable budget that wouldn't get us into trouble down the line," Ball said. Sangiuhano, whose district may receive $20,000 more under the new state budget, said officials also have to consider the cost of carrying out a rebate. "It could end up costing us," he said. of the Legislature, said he did not know of the $1 million, and thus had no plans to propose a gag-rule requirement. But he said he'd be happy to make such a proposal, and might someday soon.

The state distributes about $5 million in federal money for family planning, Freind noted. He said he may someday introduce a bill that would keep the state from distributing the money to organizations that counsel women on abortion. Ritter said she supports public funding of family planning because it means "we can put our emphasis on preventing abortions in the first place" by reducing unwanted pregnancies. That's fine, Freind said. The problem, he said, is that the money can end up supporting abortion indirectly the public money is used for birth control, but the private money that previously was funding birth control is shifted to abortion.

Freind decried the attempt to hide the family-planning money amid the WAMs, calling it "unprecedented." "That's not the way we operate," he said, referring to anti-abortion legislators. "We put everything up front and say, 'If you have the votes, stop Though the $1 million family- planning program was cut, a $2 million "alternatives to abortion" program written by Gov. Robert P. Casey was left in the budget. Half the money will go specifically to organizations that advise women only on alternatives to abortion.

i The other million will fund medical services for pregnant women, such as breast-cancer ex-f ams. Casey is staunchly opposed to abortion. Tin: MORNING' CALL Henry L. Fehnel Jr. Henry L.

By TIM REEVES Call Harrisburg Bureau HARRISBURG State legislators tucked away $1 million for family planning and contraceptives in the state budget, but the sure-to-be controversial program was cut at the last moment, several legislators said. The first-time state appropriation for birth control was pushed by Allentown state Rep. Karen Rit-ter, an abortion-rights leader in the state House. The money, which would have been distributed to family-planning clinics such as Planned Parenthood, was tucked away in a secret section of the budget called "legis- lative initiative grants," said Rit- ter, D-133rd District.

The grants, also called WAMs, money," usually are distributed by legislators to community groups in their districts. WAMs are not detailed in the budget. The public doesn't know how much money is there, or where the money goes, until it's distributed. Ritter said the farmly-planning money, for a statewide program, was intended to be a conventional line-item in the budget. It was listed that way in the spending plan approved by House Democrats June 6.

But House and Senate negotiators later moved it amid the WAMs in private negotiating sessions, Ritter said. is FREE and easy to use.
