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. Jackson County Teachers Association
