Potter County School Office May Be Abolished
Potter County could lose its county superintendent post after a legislative inquiry led by Sen. W. R. Poage. He urged rural Potter County schools merge with Amarillo or form a regional superintendent system with nearby counties. The panel found over 11 dollars per pupil of the 16 dollar supervision allotment was spent on administration rather than direct teaching, noting the high supervision costs and ex officio superintendents in neighboring counties.
