OrrIcE OF THE SEc'Y OF BOARD OF EpuoArrosl
DEs MoEEs, Iowa, March 24th, 1885
To County Superintendent asa Boards Of d.
rsctoyy:
Many inquiries have recently been addressed
to this Office, relativs to the power of the Board
Of Directors to levy Tax for the support Of
schools under the fa,rtetnta clause of section l6
of Part VIII, of ne pamphlet edition Of the
School laws. We answer that ths provision re-
ferred to gives them full power to levy such tax,
independent of ara Joee of pte district Deehng.-
Not only SO, but t is their npsrasise duty to levy
such tax, when in their judgment it i5 necessary
in order to keep the schools in progress for
twenty.sour weeks in each year. The district
meeting may even vote against tax for any
purpose whatever, and still it would not inter-
fere with the authority vested in the Board of
Directors by the clause in question.
The difference between the authority given
the district meeting and that conferred upon the
Board of Directors is this: The district meet
ing may vote tax to keep up the schools for
six, eight or twelve months, and in sucn case it
would become the duty of tie Secretary to GER
tify the same to the Board of Supervisors, as
provided in section %, of Part VIII; but the
Board of Directors must (''shalr' is tae language
of the law levy such tax as may be necessary, TO
keep up the schools for tUenty four ,eeks each
year. This power is Observation-Disclosures, they
could not comply with the provisions of the
law, which require them to have school taught
in each subdistrict for the period above named.
If the district meeting should vote the amount
required, it would Of course be unnecessary for
the Board to levy tax. .......
To set the matter finally at rest, would add,
that the construction here given was settled by
the decision OF the Supreme Court, at the De-
cember term for 1861, held in this city, in the
case of Joseph K. Snyder vs. Samuel Wampler,
ct al. County Superintendents will please COM
municate this intelligence with little delay as
possible to the respective Boards of Directors,
in order that it may reach them in time for their
regular meeting on the first Saturday after the
first Monday in April.
