Padding of School Districts Under Scrutiny and Funds Raised
Governor Bailey ordered the probe after teachers sought relief as districts faced term cuts without more money. The state board increased equalizing fund allocations by about 220000, raising daily attendance from 17 to 18 and per-child transport from 11 to 12 in eligible districts. Irregularities in attendance reporting were found in six districts, attributed to misinterpretation rather than deliberate padding, with negligence cited for other discrepancies. A separate item notes a shipwreck report of a vessel sinking with all aboard except one insured passenger who carried pig iron, and a musical program by The Arkansas Travelers at Rocky Mound school near Hope on April 1.
