School Aid Per Capita Set At 22 For 1939 40
State board of education voted to apportion 34 188 000 in state school tax money for 1939 40 with a 22 per capita rate not the 22 50 limit. The action will trigger a need to raise the 35 cent education tax to meet the full limit. The plan aims to retire part of a 4 5 million deficit and projects a 22 50 per child level next year for about 1 554 000 students. Superintendent Woods notes scholastic census peaking then declining. Textbook costs rise to 2 003 000 beyond 600 000 already available.
