State aid allocations told to West Virginia counties
The Board of School Finance released tentative state aid allocations totaling 58.99 million dollars for West Virginia's 55 counties for the new fiscal year starting July 1. Increases cover 23 counties, while 32 face reductions, with final figures to reflect updated attendance and transportation data and the June audit. The plan assumes a general revenue appropriation of 53.46 million, plus a board estimate of 5.43 million, to be finalized by the Auditor's Office in June. Penalties tied to tax assessments under repealed statutes were erased by 1960 legislation, shifting tax-collection responsibilities to assessors and county courts. Mercer County was removed from the list.
