The U.S. nickel is really 75 per-
cent copper and just 25 percent
nickel.
by Jim Parker
The adage "believe nothing you
hear and only half of what you
see" certainly has application in
regard to judging the results of ac-
tivities of the State Legislature.
Two things that have recently
occurred bring this adage into
stark prospective.
The first such instance, that
many of you have contacted me
about, is the termination of some
positions in the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service that furnishes all
counties with a county agent,
home demonstration agent and
support staff. The Extension Ser-
vice administration appears to be
justifying staff reductions by
blaming the legislature in its last
session for severe cutting oj the
Extension Service's budget. That
is not true.
The fact of the matter is the Ex-
tension Service received exactly
the same appropriation out of the
69th legislature as it received in
the 68th Session. The difference is
that the administration of the Ex-
tension Service has apparently
made the determination to divert
funds from field staffing to some
other area. I do not know what
other area the funds are intended
for but I intend to make every ef-
fort to find out.
In another instance, many,
many of my constituents have
written concerning the demise of
small schools. The culprit for the
demise of small schools is thought
to be the Legislature and its
passage of H.B. 72. That is not
true.
With very few exceptions, H.B.
72 injected more state aid funds
into small school districts than
they had ever realized before. As a
matter of fact, Ij.B. 72 contains a
funding formula that actually
gives additional state money to
schools under 1600 ADA. The
smaller the school, the more ad-
ditional funds. Whoever has told
you H.B. 72 is killing small schools
just simply told you wrong.
The prospect for small schools
is, admittedly, bleak at best but
that is because of curriculum
requirements passed in 1981, and
only now coming into full im-
plementation, and because it sim-
PAGE 3B
ply is more expensive to operate a
school, per child, for a school of
160 children than for a school of
600. Obviously, a teacher can
teach 20 children for the same that
he or she can teach eight. It does
not take an intellectual giant to
arrive at these conclusions
Small schools will continue to
endure so long as the local proper
ty tax base is willing to support
them or if the Legislature ever
becomes willing to seriously ap-
proach reform of the ad valorem
method of school finance. Do not
hold your breath waiting for that
to happen.
In both of these instances I have
discussed, the Legislature is ser
ving as a handy whipping boy and
the real issues are thereby
avoided
In most instances, such as these,
if the object of blame appears to be
readily evident, you are probably
working with a mistaken set of
facts.
