high school trustees meet
Trustees of County High Schools
Hold Meeting in Danielsville
and fix Uniform Charge
of $12.50 per term
Due to the fact that the financial
problems of oai* High Schools are
annually growing because of! de
creasing taxes oil the one hand and
growing needs on the other, the
trustees of the various High Schools
of Madison County met in Danieis
viile at 2:30 P. M., Thursday, A-
F ' ' 2, 1525, for discussing financial
PO -0; - .
i‘ was brought out at this meet-,
ing that the income of the County
board of Education for school pur
Poses is annually decreasing, a
shown by the following figures:
County Wide Tax, Rtate
19 21, £20,093.30 $31,518.87
19 ?2, $16.304.87 $29,636.99
1& 23 $13,035.36 $29,630.00
19 2 t, $12,671.60 $24,800.00
It is therefore seen that the total
income from the county wide tax
and State School fun-l combined.
*ddch was $31,012.17 in 1921, has
fallen in four years to $37,471.60,
v ’’hieh is a decrease of $14,140.57.
Wo?t of the County High School ■
have been established in this time,
and all have been enlarged. With
' ‘Ss financial resources, and greater
financial needs, the question, which
is a serious one, naturally arista,
What is the solution? As the pre.:-
ent tax rate is the maximum, that
can be levied, of necessity the ho
must come fr.nu tuition charges,
whiich are, according to the school
laws of Georgia, permissible, pro
vided the funds are needed.
At this meeting the following
motions were carried:
1. That all the High Schools cf
Madison County charge a uniform
tuition fee.
2. That the tuition to be charged
be Twenty-four ($24.00) Dollars
per year, payable one-haif at the o
pening of each term, with 30 days
of grace.
The following resolution was also
adopted:
Resolved: fh'-t the trustees of all
the high schools of Madison Cos n’y 4
compose an org nizatlon to he known
as “The Madison County High School
Association,” of which the County
Superintendent of Schools shall be
ex-officio chairman, and that some
member be selected as Secretary.
Col. C. E. Adams was elected Sec-
retary. i ■ : i ■ fifj'
Prom the above ft. is seen that all
the high schools of the County will
charge a uniform tuition fee of sl2
per term, or *24 per year. It is f It
that when it is understood that this
is absolutely necessary in order t>,
provide funds for the mam,
tenance of our High Schools in the
face of annually diminishing public
funds; and further that this charge
is not in excess of what other coun
ties now maintaining s : mi!ar sch o's
are already charging, there will be
thorough co-operation on the part of
those attending these High Schools.
These facts are given to the public
promptly, in erder that every bey
and girl aspiring to a high school ed
ucation, not already provided wi + h
funds, can put on foot some plan to
provide this tuition during the va
cation period, so as to be ready when
the schools open in September.
