More School Money To Be Ready In 52
State Supt. F B Decker predicts nearly double the 1950 funds for school districts in 1952. Boost comes from $1,680,000 land lease bonuses begun in 1950 and continuing this year. In 1951 total distributed was $1,960,000 with base 66 per district plus about 4 per resident ages 5 to 21. Estimated 1952 base around $140,000 plus about $9 per eligible resident. Rentals on lands run $900,000 to $1,000,000 annually and bond interest remains about $320,000 yearly. The lease bonuses add to this year’s total.
