Brown county’s share of the semi-annual apportionment of the current state school fund will be $15,368.00, based on a total of 3,842 pupils. This is 96 pupils more than last year.

Word to this effect was received from the state auditor with the additional information that distribution of the fund among the various counties of the state will be made at an early date.

Apportionment of the current state school fund, which is derived from the earnings of the permanent school fund and the receipts from the one mill school tax is made in March and October of each year and the present distribution is for the school period ending July 31.

The total amount to be distributed S is $2,019,127.20, based on an enrollment of 504,630 pupils, which is a net gain of 1,492 over the previous year. The apportionment is on the basis of $4 per pupil, the same as last October. Thus Brown county’s share is greater than last year by reason of increased attendance.

Although the basis of apportionment of the fund was a total of 504,630 pupils for the school year the actual total enrollment in the schools of the state was 545,956, a net gain of 1,492over the previous year. The use of the first named figure was because of the fact that only this number of pupils attended school the required number of days.

Distribution of the current school fund for the second period will be made just as soon as the various county treasurers of the state make their November tax settlements with the state auditor.
