Sblidpls Rated
As 'Standardl y
Ninety-two per cent of 383 ele
mentary schools - evaluated - by
state i education department su
pervisors during the past school
year were rated as standard or
conditionally standard, a report of
Donald A. Emerson, assistant su
perintendent in charge of super
vision and instruction in the state
school system, disclosed Wednes
day;'" : .; j "
! Under ' the 1947 basic school
support fund law the state educa
tion department has the respon
sibility of determining the eligi
bility of schools to receive finan
cial benefits from the basic school
support fund, A school rated as
non-standard is not eligible to re
ceive school support funds. v
' Emerson explained that in ac
tual practice it was found that
a large percentage of schools
rated have not yet attained stand
ard status but have adopted and
have in Operation a plan of im
provements that will, when com
pleted, give the school a full
standard rating. These schools
are "designated as conditionally
standard.
"The rate, of increase in popu
lation has been so great, in some
districts," Emerson averred,
"that their financial condition
will not permit them to keep
apace with current needs. How
ever, a majority of such districts
have a program of improvements
that is permitting them to ad
vance at a reasonable rate toward
the goal of complete standardiza
tion and are rated conditionally
standard or standard with advice."
