Education Laws in Various States Have Similar Provisions
By DAVID NYDICK
UPI Education Specialist
Laws covering education
vary somewhat from state to
state but they have similar
provisions. Parents should
have sufficient knowledge of
them so they will understand
their rights and responsibili
ties. V School attendance is com
'pulsory and parents have a
choice of financing a private
'education or using the public
schools.
In either case, the public
schools are available for a
;e o m plete program through
high school graduation. The
parents have the responsi
bility to keep their children
in attendance during the re
quired ages. Penalties gen
erally are imposed for those
who do not obey thew lt.
Various aspects nt each
school are covered by state
laws which set certain mini
mum standards. The local
school board very often pro
vide educational programs
which surpass these basic re
quirements. The school board
in a community which has an
interest in quality education
and is willing to support such
a program usually will go
well beyond the minimum re
quired by the state.
Law Varies Widely
Naturally, there are many
variations in the different
states as well as in the com
munities within a state. The
laws generally provide mini
mum salaries, tenure, and re
tirement for employees. New
buildings and major renova
tions must be approved by
the state. The state also rec
ommends and acts as a con
sultant in all areas of educa
tion. A copy of the law is
probably available in the
school office or local library.
The local school board rep
resents you. Special requests
may be directed to the school
board but you should first go
to the school adminisiralion.
Most requests are handled by
the principal or superintend
ent within establish policies.

But transportation is organ
ized on a mileage basis. It
often varies with grade level.
In some communities excep
tions are made for handicap
ped children or those who
have dangerous streets to
cross. If you have any ques
tions concerning transporta
tion, ask to see a copy of the
school policy. In unusual cir
cumstances you might make
a special request to the school
board.
Provisions for Handicapped
Many children have partic
ular handicaps, interests, and
needs. If the local school can
not cope with these, provi
sions may sometimes be made
to obtain the necessary pro
gram from outside the local
system. In many cases, the
state requires the local school
board to pay the costs. This
will usually include transpor
tation. If your child is deaf, blind
or otherwise seriously han
dicapped, you should investi-

This can be done through the

BUSINESS GIFTS V j
(This is the fifth In a series of nine articles.)
The era of giving and deducting substantial business gifts,
such as mink coats, cars, refrigerators, etc., has passed into
history.
Beginning this year, deductions for business gifts to In
dividuals generally will be limited to $25 a donee each year, i
This covers business gifts which you make to your customers,
your business associates, your clients, your employees (except !
that the employee limit is $100 for gifts recognizing length
of service or safety achievements) and any other for whom
you could properly deduct business gifts.
This will not prevent you from making gifts as large as
you wish, hut it limits your income tax deduction to no more j
than $25 for each person to whom you make business gifts j
during the year. ,
The $25 limit i.s figured by what the gift costs you, not i
what it's worth to the person to whom you give it.
You can omit from your cost any "incidental'' charges -such
as the customary engraving on jewelry, or packaging,
insurance, mailing or other delivery. For instance, if you
pay $25 for the gift, another dollar for engraving and another
dollar for packaging and mailing, you will be able to deduct
the entire $27 by treating $25 as the business gift and the
other $2 as otherwise deductible expenses.
But a cost will not be considered "incidental" if It adds
substantial value to the gift. Thus, what you pay for
customary gift wrapping may ba excluded from the gift
as an incidental cost. But suppose you buy $20 worth of
fruit as a gift and have It packaged in a $20 basket for
delivery. The Treasury will most probably consider the
packaging no longer incidental and treat the combined
fruit and basket as a $40 gift for which you can take only
a $25 deduction, with no deduction for the other $15.
Here are several special reminders about the new busi
ness gift rules.
1-You can make more than one gift to a person In a year
but the total amount you can deduct for that one person's
j gifts can't exceed $25.
2-You can t get around the $25 limit per person by mak
ing your gift In the person's husband or wife or child. If
you want to give your customer a $250 refrigerator as a
business gift, say, you can't beat the $25 limit on your de
duction by giving the refrigerator to his wife instead of
directly to him. Bui if your customer's wife is actually in
partnership with him in his business, you can make n gift
to either one or both and you will get a separate $25 deduc
tion for each one, for a total of $50.
3 If you have business conneclions who own and operate
other businesses as corporations, you can't get around the
new $25 a year limit on gifts to individuals by making your
gift to their corporations. To illustrate, if you give a $3,000
car as a gift to your business customer's corporation for
eventual personal use by your customer himself, your de
duction is limited to $25 even though your gift is made in
form In a corporation rather than an individual.
4-Some gifts may fit the descriptions nf both business en
tertainment and business gifLs. Depending on the particular!
situation, the new rules may at times give you n better lax '
break by treating the gift one way rather lhan the other.
As an example, when you give theatre tickets to a cus- '
iomer whom you don't accompany to the theatre, the Treas
ury gives you the choice of treating the tickets a a business
gift or entertaniment. While you may be unable to meet
the tests for deducting the tickets as entertainment, you
easily may show that they are deductible business gifts.
So you would choose to treat them as business gifts, al- 1
though that would limit your deduction to $25. 1
When you make a business gift to a individual of pack- ,
aged food or beverages for consumption at a later time, you
have no choice about treating this as an entertainment or a ;
business gift. The Treasury says ynu must treat, this as a
business gift, which automatically clamps on the $25 deduc
tion limil per person.
