COUNTY SCHOOLS RECEIVE STATE AID APPROPRIATION
County Auditor Olaf Skyberg this week received notice from State Auditor Chase as to the amount of state appropriation as school aid which Rock county will receive. This sum is $11,113.20 which makes $4 for each of the 2,640 pupils in Rock county schools.
In addition to this, the funds derived from fines and penalties makes the aid 20c more per pupil, or the combined amount, $4.20. This will be paid to the various school districts in connection with the regular November settlement.
