Remedy urged for nine month Texas schools
The Texas State Teachers Association committee on school survey recommends mandatory eight months of school and nine months as a prerequisite for state and county support. An amendment would require each county to prove assessed values equal two thirds of actual value as of the assessment year. If values were assessed at fifty percent, funds would cover a nine month term without raising tax rates. Edwin Schodde and Edwin Pundt left for Houston Sunday seeking work.
