New Territorial School Law Creates Education Board Powers
A new territorial school law establishes a three member board of education with a president and secretary, placing the territorial superintendent as president. The board will regulate rules, establish courses from primary to high school, supervise institutes, select ten institutions for teacher training, issue and revoke certificates, publish school laws, and oversee school house plans and inspections. The superintendent retains general control of non board duties, with monthly meetings and a biennial governor report.
