School Funds Unless
Localities Give More
By the Associated Press
RICHMOND, Dec. 6 Six
counties and four cities may re-
ceive reduced amounts of State |
aid for education during the
1954-55 school year unless they
appropriate more local funds.
The State Education Depart-
ment report the localities will
have to show an increase over
local expenditures for the 1953-
54 term if they expect to share
in two aid programs totaling
$9,914,760.
The < counties are
Frederick, Highland.
Q
The cities are Charlottesville,
staunton, Virginia Beach and
Colonial Heights,
Unless they show an increase
in local effort, they will not be
permitted to share in the State’s
| minimum education and salary
equalization funds.
Loudoun,
King and
en, Warren and Washington.
Minimum Effort Needed,
These funds are set aside for
those areas which exert a mini-
mum effort to raise money for
school in accordance with each
area’s need and its ability to
pay.” The funds are in addition
to the basic State appropriation
for school operations which to-
tals $31,999,750 for the current
year
Last year, four localities failed
to show minimum effort and
thus did- not qualify for a full
share of State aid. They were
Clarke and Warren Counties,
Fredericksburg and Staunton.
: At the same time, 18 cities
jand 17 counties recived only the
{ basic . appropriation in 1953-54
{because they didn’t need extra
jaid.
Arlington Gave Most.
The county which appropri-
{ated the highest pbercentage of |
{local funds in 1953-54 was Ar-
{lington, which contributed $4,-
1 283,434 of a total expenditure |
{of $5,857,705 for school opera-
| tions. The - local output repre- |
I sented 73 per cent of tofal av. |

highest among both counties and
cities. The second greatest ef-
fort, based on 1950 true taxable
wealth, was shown by Williams-
burg, whose percentage was 1.10
Fairfax had 1.09 and M ‘tins-
ville 1 per cent. All others were
below 1 per cent.
The localities which may be
denied a share in the two s vecial
funds had rates below 45 cents
per $100 true valuation.
The lowest: rate was Virginia
Beach’s 26 cents. The resort
was on the bottom largely he-
cause it ranks highest in taxable
wealth per pupil. Virginia
Beach’s $55.021 average taxable
wealth per child was well ahead
of Richmond’s $32,792 and the
county high, Arlington’s $29.734.
