CHERRY co. SCHOOL NOTES

CHERRY co. SCHOOL NOTES
Many school officers will be in
terested in the following ruling
from State Supt. McBrien upon
STATE AID FOR WEAK DISTRICTS:
All that is required Of weak
districts that expect to come under
the provisions of this law is that
they vote, at jthe annual school
meeting in June, to hold at least
seven months of school the ensuing
year, and also to vote school taxes
! / al amount equal to % mills on
re dollar of assessed valuation.
I'll such districts maintaining
~ light grades are entitled to
assistance under this act when ap-
plication is made therefore by
majority of the district board and
approved by the county superin-
tendent. 1t follows that where a
school district voted the full limit
of taxation and seven months of
school aid later it is found that
the funds available will not be
sufficient to hold that amount of
school, it can hold shorter term
and still be entitled to it's maximum
share of state aid. Some districts
without any outstanding debts may
vote the limit of taxation, which,
with the maximum amount of state
aid, $120, will not be sufficient to
maintain seven months of school.
A district may pay whatever sal
ary is necessary to secure first
class teacher. 1t was undoubted-
ly the intent of the legislature to
help the weakest districts most.
1t is impossible to tell at this
time whether the $4,000 appro-
priated by the legislature will give
all districts the full amount to
which they are entitled under this
act. If the amount available is
not sufficient to pay the full sum
to which each district is entitled
under the provisions of this act, it
shall be divided pro rata among
the several school districts entitled
| thereto in proportion to the ag-
gregate number OF days attended
by all pupils in the several dis
tricts. 1t will take many school
districts in this state, voting the
limit of taxation, at least two years
to pay their legitimate debts and
current expenses by using all of
their local funds, including state
apportionment, which is no longer
held exclusively for the payment
of teachers wages. With the
state aid we hope that such dis
tricts will be able to hold at least
three months of school.
In all districts applying for state
aid this department (state depart
ment of education) will hold that
no expenditure of money shall be
made by the district board without
the consent and approval of the
county superintendent.
Every district desiring state aid
should make immediate appIica-
tion to the superintendent of the
proper county. The estimate of
probable amount each district will
receive will be made about Oct. 10,
1907. Lulu KORTZ,
