New School Laws Passed by Seventy-Third General Assembly
The seventy third general assembly enacted key school laws including amending the Boxwell provision to make tuition for Boxwell graduates compulsory for boards of education in special and township districts where they reside, except districts with high schools. Effective April 1908 for tuition from that date, diplomas issued before may still have tuition paid without renewal. The act urges rural high school establishment, calls county examiners to carefully assess certificates, and allows village and special districts to levy up to ten mills for school taxes. A centralization vote for township schools may be triggered if boards refuse to adopt the plan, with a majority vote, possible extra tax, and bond issue. High schools must be provided in districts.
