Show r A- feu Sslmol Legislation Will Provide Substantial Increases Box 'Elder School district would have an increase in operating funds of $176,448 or $759 per distribution unit with no additional local tax effort if the new school legislation adopted by the 1957 Utah legislature were in effect this year. This finding was presented in a study just completed by Utah Foundaretion, the private ' search organization. Under the new school finance law, Box Elder School district would be able to finance a maximum operating program of or $6,346 per distribution unit without resorting to any further special election. According to Utah Foundation caloperation culations, the actual 1956-57, Is program this year, $1,187,892, or $5,108 per distribution unit. Box Elder School district had 232.5 distribution units this year. One distribution unit is roughly equivalent to 27 pupils in average daily attendance. Can Increase Levy In order to finance this maximum program without further election, Box Elder School district would have to impose a local property tax levy of 20 mills or $20 00 per $1,000 assessed valUtah uation, for operations. Foundation points out that the district imposed a total levy of 17.12 mills this year for school operations. non-prof- it The new law would permit Box Elder School distnct to have a school operating program all the way up to 7,600 per distribution unit, if the voters approved of such an action in a special election held for that purpose. In order to have such a maximum school program, however, a local property tax of 27.54 mills for operating purposes would have to be imposed throughout the district. Hike State Effort Utah Foundation analysts explain that the changes made in the new school law were designet mainly to increase the funds available for public school the purposes by extending amount of state participation in local school finances. For example, the basic school program was increased from $4,050 to $4,800 per distribution unit, a change of 1814 percent with no increase in the local effort needed for participation in the enlarged program. In addition to the funds provided through greater state aid, local school districts were afforded greater local levying authority than was heretofore permitted, the report points out. Local leeway without election was increased from $810 to $1,200 per distribution unit for most districts. Additional leeway with election was Increased from $648 Quarterly Meeting of Northern Distnct Of Diocese Council of Catholic Women Held Northern Utah District of Diocese Council of Catholic Women held their quarterly meeting at St. Henrys parish in Brigham City, April 3.

Districts having already obtained extra leeway authority by means of securing voter approval at a special election will be allowed to retain such leeway authority under the new law without a further vote of the people. Enrollments Are Increasing The report notes that because of increasing enrollments, the state obligations for public schools are rising at the rate of $1.4 million to $1.5 million per requireyear. Thus, state-aiments for public schools may be expected to increase $5.0 million to $6 million from one biennium to the next without any change in the finance formula for the school program. Foundation analysts estimate that the total state requirements for public school purposes durbiening the forthcoming 1957-5nium will be approximately $64 0 million. This amount represents an increase of about $18.7 million in the states share of school costs of $45.3 million for the present biennium. Baed on present revenue estimates, the Foundation concludes that the state property tax levy for schools will probably average about 4.0 mills during each of the next two years. This compares with state school levies of 4 6 mills in 1955 and 2.1 mills in 1956.
