Illinois School Survey Law Enables County Committees
A new Illinois law creates temporary five member school survey committees with advisory powers to study district reorganizations. It authorizes a 25000 dollar state appropriation and requires county superintendents to organize meetings by Oct 15 1941. Committees may collaborate across counties and must file reports by 1942 43. The measure aligns with farm groups and school resolutions across the state.
