Show JUNE THE JOURNAL 6 WHO'S NEW AT THE BRONX ZOO School Finance Plan Studied By Foundation Foundation, the private tax research organization, today released a study comparing the principal points of the public school finance plan recommended by the Public School Survey Commission with the modified plan proposed by the Utah Legislative Council. According to the Foundation analysts, the chief difference between the two plans lies in deciding which level of Government state or local should determine the needed for a minimum program, and bear the responsibility for imposing the necessary additional taxes. The study notes that this determination remains with the local school boards under the Legislative Council plan. Under present school laws, which would be extended by the Public School Survey Commission plan, the responsibility is assumed largely by the State to fix the amount to be spent, and to levy substantial property or other taxes to meet that part of school costs which bears a state label. This latter procedure raises more of the d rathadded funds by Utah non-prof- it (iu-m- an state-impose- t MRS.

Approximately the same amount of equalization would be afforded to the poorer school districts of the State under both plans, the report states. However, the Legislative Council plan is designed to be fin- anced without additional state funds. Thus, the Council plan would emphasize leaving the property taxes in the districts where they are levied and collected, achieving equalization through the distribution of the income tax, corporation franchise tax, and other state school revenues. The School Survey Commission plan, on the other hand, would require additional funds of approximately $2,213,000 for operation to be raised by state property or other taxes. Present school laws provide for o a program of per classroom unit with transportation allowances plus a state supported supplemental program amounting to 30 of the basic program, or a total of $4,200 ($3,300 30 ) per classroom unit plus state-guarante- ed $3,-30- Recommendations of the School Survey Commission would raise the basic program to $3,500 per classroom unit plus transportation allowances, and increase the supplemental program of the up to a maximum of 34 basic program. Thus, the maximum total program under the School Survey Commission recommendations would be $4,500 ($3,500 f- 34) per class room unit plus transportation. Other major financial recommendations of the School Survey Commission would permit allocation of funds on the basis of current year enrollments rather than prior year enrollments and increase transportation allocations to districts by approximately $225,000 per year. These other major School Survey financial recommendations have been adopted and made a part of the school finance plan formulated by the Utah Legislative ed state-guarante- Council staff plan would allow each district to determine its own school program and its own mill levy at some point between a minimum of $3,500 and $1,550 per classroom unit plus transportation, exclusive of local leeway.
