Loss Of State Aid Faces By Two Counties
Charleston AP reports one fifth of the state’s counties face state school aid losses this fiscal year due to low property assessments. The Board of School Finance estimates 11 counties will lose $395,253, with final figures pending November assessments. Penalties apply when assessments are below 50 percent of appraised values, and this year's losses would be vastly higher without corrective legislation passed to use last year’s Class I assessments. The tentative list includes Barbour, Berkeley, Brooke, Fayette, Hampshire, Hancock, Mason, Mercer, Monongalia, Summers, and Wood, with Berkeley Fayette Mercer Summers and Wood previously penalized in 1958. Total state aid this year is $58,757,420.
