School districts located in counties that are assessed at a ratio to true value tend to contribute more in local taxes and receive proportionately less in state aid than do districts which are located in counties that are assessed at ratios. In analyzing the inequities among the various school districts caused by assessment variations, the Utah Foundation study shows that Juab School District contributed $43,485 more than its fair share of local taxes toward the cost of the basic program and consequently received that much less than its fair share of state aid for school purposes this year. lower-than-avera- Nephi City may have group homes for mentally retarded he is planning to buy.
