STATE SCHOOL SUPPORT AMMENDMENT 314-X-VES On the ballot at this election there Is a proposed constitutional amendment, increasing the state's share in the cost of supporting public schools. On the other hand, it lessens the costs of schools to the local districts. It also provides some extra money, which will be needed to operate schools for the next five years. The amendment would require the state to contribute 45 cents per day, per pupil in actual attendance in the elementary and high schools. This means the state would be assuming about 55 of the total costs of these schools and the local districts 45. There are now In the state, as a whole, about 29,000,000 pupil days attendance rer year. At 45 Tents per pupil day this would mean a state fund of about 13,000,000 per year. Now this is not all additional money for the schools, by any means, because this fund will absorb and cancel two other funds which now coma to the schools. These are the Elementary Fund of about S2.000.000 and the Income Tax Diversion Fund of S5.000.000, which is now more or less of a temporary off set to local 'Thi's 'leaves about S3, 000,000 which will be additional money for the schools until 1950, to tide them through the war and re-adjustment period. WHY MORE STATE AND LESS LOCAL TAX SUPPORT FOR SCHOOLS 1. All states support their schools by both state and local tax fund-. he pro portion of the total which the state contributes ranges from 92 in Delaware to 1.4 for Iowa, and 1.7 for Oregon, in Washington, the state contributes 57.6. In CUifornia it is 43.3. but there is a bill on the California ballot this election very materially Increasing the proportion the state will bear. (These figures are taken from Report of Research Division, National Educa tion Association 1941). In 1942. as a result of the Initiative measure passed by a large majority, S5 000 000 surplus income tax funds are now being used to reduce local school district taxes. The reduction in Medford was about S's mills for last year- other districts similarly. If the proposed amendment carries, this reduction in local school taxes should be materially increased. 2 When funds are raised on a state level, the state can make use of several different forms of taxation to distribute and cushion the load, making it more easily carried bv localities and Individuals. The local district has only one form the property tax availabe to it for All of its purposes, school, city, county and others which means this form of taxation is usually overburdened. 3 By means of a state fund it Is possible to adjust some of the large inequalities among local districts in their abilities to support schools. Education of the Deoole is matter of more than community concern. With our mobility in population each local district is not only interested In the type of education it offers but what is afforded by every other district 4 When taxes are levied on a state wide basis ALL property within the state helps to support schools. At present, there is considerable amount of property within the state which pays no school tax. 5. Under our constitution and laws the state Is responsible for a uniform and adeauate system of public schools, but with the constitution In Its present form the legislature is unable to supply state support adequate to this end. The proposed amendment implements the constitution to make this possible. 6 Local school districts, theie times, held as they are by the six per cent const! tutional limitation, cannot cope with present rising costs due to increased enrollments and drastic teacher shortages, unless materially aided by state support.
