I KNIGHTS INSURANCE AGENCY. 1 0 , Teachers To Gel No Sick Leaves School Commission Decides Is sue; Changes Age Limit For Child To Enter The State School Commission voted Friday to grant no sick leave to the school teachers during the coming year and decided that, effective with the 1936-37 session, no child can en ter school unless he becomes six years of age on or before October 1. ? The General Assembly of 1935 empowered the commission to award 5 days sick leave annually to teachers, but the commission ruled that expen ses under the workmen's compensa tion laws passed by the Legislature and affecting teachers will be too great to allow sick leave spendings. Earlier this month, the commission changed the age-entrance rule to al low children who become six years of age by January 15 to enter school dur ing this month. This rule will be in effect for the current year only. It was found that moving the date up increased the number of pupils to such an extent that it appears many addi tional teachers will be necessary . A committee of the commission was appointed to study the supplemental budget submitted by city and county school administrative units and will make reports at the next meeting of the group, to be held on October 11. ] LOST?
