Boord Of Education Sets
Tentotive AIlotments

The State Board Of Education has
set up tentative allotments of state
funds for each county and separate
school district in the state as provid-
ed for in the Kyle-Cook Budget Law
The county superintendents and
superintendents Of separate school
districts were notified on June l as
to the amount Of these funds for
their county and district for nexl
year. The increase in the state funds
appropriated At the last session OF
the legislature makes 1t possible Ia
give an average increase Of approx
imately $1,000 per month per white
teacher in the counties receiving equal
izing funds.
This tentative allotment Of funds
provides the states part for an eight
months school program for every
white child in the state. At the pres
.ent time, there are only two counties
Benton and Tishomingo. In which
provisions have not been made for
the counties full share in making it
possible to have an eight months
school program for every child in
those counties. However, most of the
districts in these two counties are
cooperating with the state and less
than one-half Of one per cent Of the
white children will not have access
to an eight months school program
according to the present set up.
The financial condition Of the coun-
ties where taxes nave been paid as
anticipated is in fine shope. In mos,
counties. they will be able to pay Al
outstanding obligations by July 1
There are only a few cases whore II
will be necessary to go into the Aug
ust collection Of taxes to pay the
obligations for the current year in
full.
The school people Of the state are
very optimistic, but we wish to cal
to your attention the fact that it will
be necessary to practice h applica-
ton of sound business principles ii
financing and operating the schools
next year. We are looking forward
to the best school year in the history
of the state.
