GEORGIA’S SCHOOLS
By BERNICE McCULLAR
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES
THIS NEW LAW MAKE?
There have been some changes
made in Georgia s public educa
tion program this year.
The original Minimum Foun
dation Law, was enacted in 1949
and put into action in 1951-52.
The newly-revised law gives'
the State Board of Education the
power to set standards for Geor
gia schools: How big should a
school be to educate children
best? What preparation should
teachers have? A hundred and
other things popped up to be
considered. Former Harvard
President James B. Conant had
, published the results of his in
tensive studies of American high
I schools and these were con
sidered.
The State Board authorized a
committee that is presently
working on recommended stand
ards for Georgia schools. Supt.
Henry Shaw of the Muscogee
county schools at Columbus, is
chairman. A. J. Strickland, Trion
superintendent and president of
the Georgia Association of
School Administrators, is a mem
ber.
There are those who think
that enactment of these stand
ards might do away for the nec
essity of the Georgia Accrediting
Commission, which has recently
adopted a new constitution and
changed the pattern of its mem
bership. Others differ.
Difference ini Paying the Bill—
The new law provides a different
way of paying Georgia’s school
cost. The 196 systems collectively
now pay 15 per cent together,
and the state pays 85 per cent.
This does not mean that each
system pays 15 per cent. It pays
according to its ability, calcu
lated by formula. Under the new
bill, the local systems will begin
next year to pay 16 percent, and
Increase that by 1 per cent a year
until a ratio of 20 per cent local
and 80 per cent state is reached.
The local systems will also pay
their share of 10 (eventually 11),
when the TV network is com
pleted and educational television
is available to all Georgia chil
dren. Next stations planned are
at Chatsworth, Wrens, and
Cochran.
For the first time, under the
new law, the local school budget
is to be published in the local
newspaper before it is sent to the
education department for ap
proval.
The current state appropria
tion for public schools is $240
million. The proposed budget for
1965-66 is nearly $279 million
and for 1966-67, it is S3OO mil
lion.
This included for the biennium
a SSOO average teacher raise.
The teachers who are best pre
pared and have had the longest;
service get the biggest increases.

teacher with a four-year profes
sional degree (and beginning

teachers can no longer get teach
ing certificates without four
years of college) is now $3,824.
The teacher with six years of
college, beginning her 15th year,
gets $6,296
The new law provides what are
called “certificated personnel”
which are not included in the
teacher quota allotted to the
schools. Up to now, principals,
visiting teachers, and instruc
tional directors had to be in
cluded in the quota. Since they
are not classroom teachers
usually, this meant that some
teacher had to teach a larger
class to absorb these numbers.
But now, the law provides that
one such person (and the cate
gory is broader to include more
than these three) is to be allotted
for each 200 pupils in a school.
There was money only for one
to each 400 this year. But it is
hoped that funds will make pos
sible 1 to 200 in the future.
More money for textbooks is
authorized by the new law, as
funds are available: $4 average
per child instead of $3, and also
$3 for consumable materials like
workbooks, not heretofore pro
vided.
The State Board of Education
is empowered to set the school
year, move toward more summer
programs, authorize the crossing
of county lines by pupils for
“compelling reasons” and do nu
merous other things to further
the education of Georgia’s chil
dren.
