Month
To
County Supe:intndent Conley has
received the following letter from
J. H. Ackerman. Supt. of public In
struction, relating to the six mtinths
school law:
"A number of letters have come
to thU department asking whether
or not schoal board are compelled
by the Hawley Act to pay toacher3
f5Q a month. If your school officer j
have this wrong impression, will yo
please do what yoa can to correct it.
"Thla law provides that each district
must have at least b!x months of ,
school each year; it also provides j
that each district must have a school i
fund or at least $300 each year; but!
It says nothing about teachers' sal
aries. If a scbojl board can secure
a toacher for leas than ISO per month!
the district can have a longer term
than six months. The provision for
a fund of $300 was Included in the
bill, so as to make It possible for
each district to have the required six
months schoal.
"The new e;ll Ion of the school
1 ws . will be ready for distribution
about May 15. The legislature pro
vides enough to furnish each school
officer with one copy."
