The General Aid is a new
appropriation and only good for two years.
This figures at 11c per day for grade school
children and 14c per day for high school
students. Only about 90% of this will be
received by the schools as the appropriation is
not sufficient to pay the full 11c and 14c per
pupil per day. Tama county will receive
about $77.000 per year.

|
The School Year
|
The school year in all rural and
town schools should be, and is by Iowa School
Laws 180 days of actual days taught and pupils
and teachers present. The only day that
can be legally considered as a day taught is the
one day provided by law for County
Institutes. This day may be counted as a
day taught and all pupils present providing the
instructor attends an approved institute
sanctioned by The State Department of Public
Instruction.
