BELLINGER, PIOKI KED 471 of 11 RECTOR IS UAIlttED. School lMrcctor, ,ln Kmerwnoj, Can't ' Work for Ills District '(Enterprise Record-Chieftain.) A school director cannot do any work for pay oji a school building mdrr his care. Attorney General A. M. Crawford holds In a letter to Su pclntendont J. C. Conley. Mr. Con ley wrote for an opinion after the uestion had arisen In a district where one of the directors wan about the only man In the neighborhood quali fied to make needed alterations. The law forbids a director to furnish any supplies to the district or to do work but it did not seem sufficiently ex plicit on the pcint of whether the director might help put the school In order and receive pay for it. Strict adherence to the law will work a hardship in some small dis tricts, where the directors are likely to be the men who live nearest the school house, and who are thus able to care for It. In such cases It often is difficult to get help to make repairs and directors have had to do the worn tnemselves. Mr. Crawford's letter states: , "I have your letter of the 9th In- stnnt asking for Information as to whether or not a school director could legally accent a contract at he hands of th nttio,. i ' district, for the building of a school house, or for any work In connec tion therewith, ani receive nay from the district: and replying I would state that It Is the opinion of this otllee that has been rendered hefore that a director could not either di rectly or indirectly have anything to do with furnishing the district In the Way you mirrul l, ..
