Six Months School Term Closes Soon Many Schools Already l losed And Otheres Anticipate Trouble Open Longer Raleigh; Feb. — With the 6 months state-supported school t"m about to end throughout North Carolina many local school districts are cx pecter to experience trouble soon In meeting expenses school authori ties here predicted today. Already about 150.000 pupils have completed the six-month term and are out of school until next fall, Dr. A. T. Allen, state superintend- j ent of public instruction, said. Eight and nine months schools, which enroll about 87 per cent of the white children attending schools, are pre paring to continue their regular terms. Though the local districts arc generally preparing to keep the school open. Dr. Allen said many were doing It with more hope thaii money. Districts Must Produce. The state extended term aid fund! of $1,500,000 will be given districts this year only when they have ac tually produced their part of the ex tended term cost. If a district is able to raise only a part of thf extended term cost the board of equalization will make its allotment on a per centage basis. The budget bureau is anticipat ing that not more than $1,000,000 of the extended term fund will be called for by the counties, meaning j that many districts will curtail the i terms. Under the state support plan the i | .schools have already spent more I than $12,000,000 this year. School : authorities are now admitting that, | in many instances the institutions would not have operated six months ! without state responsibility. This ■ was a much debated question during I the 1931 general assembly, but now |it, is generally accepted that with out full state support the schools I would have had to close early.
