School Board Association.
In letter sent to us last week the
state association officials outlined the
resolutions and proposals adopted by
the last annual meeting of the Min
neSota S c h 90 Board Association.
Some of the many proposals that are
exactly in line with what we have
earnestly recommended and explained
the past few years are:
l. That the state and Federal gov
ernments should assume their pro-
portionate share of all public bonded
Indebtedness on all lands that revert
back to the state or Federal govern
ments through tax forfeiture or con-
demnation proceedings. (This would
make it possible for Pine county set
tiers to remain in Pine county and
more would be able to Gomez
2. That all revenue derived from
the income tax be used for educa-
tional purposes and that no part of
such revenue be diverted for other
purposes.
3. That adequate appropriations to
meet the needs of the state educa-
ton program, all revenues from the
state net income tax to be used ex-
clusively for school purposes without
reduction in other aids or O Their
school appropriations, and the pay
ment in full of all special state aids
classification aid, supplemental aid.
transportation aid) as authorized by
law.
4. That nonresident high school
transportation should be paid in full
by the state so as to equalize edu-
cational opportunities between rural
and urban youth.
5. That the burden of local tax
alton be not increased, but should
in most cases be reduced.
6. That careful study of all legis-
lation be made so as to keep our
schools forever free from political
Influence or control.
The above statements are taken
from the resolutions passed by the
School Board Associa-
ton of Minnesota. This association
has always worked for the net in
come tax law, more school aids and
lower property taxes. Let us all
boost this program without any ifs
or reservations.
