The Statehouse—

BY TED KNAP A brand new Indiana statute was rebuffed last week by Indiana's leaders in education. It was the first test of a

new “rule of thumb” for deal-

ing out the state's $58 million to school districts throughout Indiana. And the educators dodged the “rule of ;

New Statute Cited

Acting contrary to the 1951 State Legislature were the five members of the General Commission, policy body of the Indiana School’ Board, and State Supt. of Public Instruction Wilbur Young. They were aware their action failed to follow this new statute. “The General Commission of the State Board of Education, on the basis of available data on enrollments and assessed valuations, shall make estimates, and whenever available appropriations will be insufficient or in excess to make a full distetbutiop as herein provided, shall on or before July 1 of each year, adjust the local foundation tax rates for tuition and transportation purposes upward or downward in like amount for the ensuing year.” The educators made an esti-

But the Commissioners failed to do that. Instead, they settled for another year of “going into the hole” and distributing the shorted funds on a percentage {basis. Which is exactly what the {Legislature had ruled against. The State Superintendent read-| ily admitted that “we acted con-

gible” to make a close estimate because toe many factors were unknown. Actually, it was known that the $58 million would fall at least $2 million short. Commission members attending the meeting besides Mr. Young as chairman, were Ira Huntington, Rensselaer; A. C, Senour, East Chicago; Indiana University President Herman B Wells; V. C. Freeman of Purdue University, and Charles Rochelle, Evansville.

Efforts Fouled Up

They said their attempts at an estimate were fouled by the absence at that time of any court ruling about whether the 1949 teacher pay schedule or the higher 1951 schedule will be used; by lack of adjusted assessment figures; and by their own failure to decide how much to distribute in transportation funds, They knew ihe Commission missed before on estimates. And it would have been embarrassing

later developments showed need for eight cents. But the Legis-| lature didn’t allow for a dodge on grounds of embarrassment. Judge John Niblack of Marion County Superior Court ruled last Friday, several days after the Commission met, that the distribution of state aid funds next Aug. 1 should be made on the new teachers’ salary schedule set up
