State Basic Hike Of $23,159 Due Morrow Schools Morrow county public schools will receive an estimated $215. 310 in state Basic School Support Funds lor the 19G9-70 school year. Dale Parnell, state school superintendent, announced to dav. This represents an Increase of an estimated $23,159 over the original estimate of $192,180. The increase is due to an ad ditional $20 million appropriat ion to Basic School Support Funds for the 19G9-71 blennium hv the 19G9 Legislative Assem blv. The appropriation for the bl ennlum Is $177355.042. one-half being available for each of the two years. In a memorandum to local school district superintendents and intermediate education dis trict superintendents, Parnell to day outlined the changes in school financing made by the legislature, and the budget tax adjustments that the Increased BSSF appropriation will bring about if and when the bill be comes law. School districts which have al ready adopted a budget must decrease the net levy of the school district to be certified to the county assessor on the basis of such ad lusted figures. This means that the addition al BSSF money in those districts cannot be used to increase the school budget, but must be used to cut property taxes. In 1967-68. the BSSF approp nation totaled $77,785,920 and was distributed to school dlst ricts in general purpose grants, transportation aid, and apport ionment for growth on the ba sis of formulas determined by the legislature. The Basic School Support Fund is the principle source of state funds for elementary and secon dary education, but in recent years the percentage of state support in comparison to over all school costs has been de creasing. It dropped from a high of 40.4 percent in 1951-52 to 23.5 percent in 1968-69. Beginning in 1971-73, there will be an annual appropria tion equal to $178.65 for each child between the ages of 5 and 17 as shown on the 1970 school census. Unofficially, the BSSF approp riation will not be made until the bill passed by the legisat ure is signed by the Governor. The state school superintendent is required by law to furnish each school district with a re vised estimate of its BSSF re ceipts for the 1969-70 school year.
