intendent to discover the cause of such 

 deficiencies, and also to make recom- 

 mendations to the board for their cor- 

 rection." 



It was the opinion of the committee 

 that the unit district provided the fair- 

 est proposal from the standpoint of 

 costs to the tax payer since it leveled 

 out the cost over a broader area. 



In the words of Ed Priddle, another 

 farmer member of the committee, "Ed- 

 ucation is the responsibility of everv- 

 one and each should pay his fair share 

 of this expense." 



It was also recognized by the com- 

 mittee that the state legislature had 

 favored the unit district in the tax 

 bills of 1945 by requiring only three- 

 fourths as much local tax effort from 

 the unit district to qualify for special 

 state aid as is required of grade school 

 and high school when operated sep- 

 arately. 



The saving on pupil transportation 

 under the unit district seemed to be 

 worthy of special consideration the 

 committee thought. It is understood, 

 of course, that transportation will be 



provided by the new district. Under 

 the unit district the per capita trans- 

 portation costs have been less than half 

 the per pupil transportation costs in 

 Illinois. The larger district should be 

 able to provide a better transportation 

 system with less expense. 



Recommendations of Others 



In proposing these plans the county 

 committee was guided somewhat by 

 the experiences and recommendations 

 of other states and groups within this 

 state. In fact, 45 of the 48 states make 

 a practice of combining grades 1 to 12 

 in the same administrative unit. Also 

 this type of program is approved by 

 the following organizations: National 

 Educational Association, Illinois Edu- 

 cational Association, Illinois Associa- 

 tion of School Boards, Committee on 

 Services of the Illinois Post War Plan- 

 ning Commission, Illinois Agricultural 

 Association, and the State Advisorv 

 Commission on School Reorganization. 



The latter commission on pages 18 

 and 19 of their manual has stated: "An 

 administrative unit should comprise 

 one or more attendance areas, (pref- 

 erably two or more) offering educa- 

 tional facilities at least through the 

 twelfth grade .... The reorganization 

 of school districts does not always in- 



volve the abandonment of the smaller 

 units of school administration. Indeed, 

 the major purpose of- such reorganiza- 

 tion often is to enlarge the tax area 

 and to effect cooperative relationships 

 in the business and personal activities 

 of the district affected "
