Butte District Loses State Funds Under New Apportionment Law
The state board of education will apportion funds only to districts levying more than 10 mills, with changes in per pupil allocations and village allotments. Butte District No. 1, keeping a 6-mill levy, faces major declines across inheritance tax, metal mines tax, oil royalties, and oil licenses, reducing total state support from 1926-27 levels by about $34,000 plus ongoing losses from lower interest and income funds. Next year Butte expects full high school levy receipt while existing distributions shift under the new rule.
