The increase for the first year includes a $865 per distribution unit boost in the program under the new law plus unused local leeway of $24 per distribution unit remaining under the old law. These facts were brought out in a detailed analysis of the 1965 school finance legislation prepared by the Utah Foundation, the private governmental research organization. Foundation analysts explain that a distribution unit is allowed for each classroom unit of 27 pupils. Additional distribution units are allowed for supervisory personnel, small schools, special classes for handicapped children, vocational education, and other purposes.
