FOREWORD
The information contained in this bulletin deals with the finan-
cial support, financial ability, and inequalities existing in the va-
rious school districts of this Commonwealth. This bulletin follows
the same pattern as one published in April, .1939. The 1939 bullet-in,
although still valuable, does not give an up—to-date picture of school
finances in Kentucky; therefore, the present bulletin was prepared
by Mr. Geo. L. Evans, Director of the Division of Finance. By us-
ing the information contained in the 1939 bulletin and comparing it
with information in this publication, 'aluable trends and con-
elusions may be established.
Because of the importance of the information contained herein,
I earnestly solicit your careful consideration of the facts presented
and invite your comments and suggestions.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT, FINANCIAL ABILITY, AND IN-
EQUALITIES EXISTING IN VARIOUS SCHOOL
SYSTEMS IN KENTUCKY
Introduction
This bulletin is being published to release information and data
concerning the public school system of Kentucky. Data and treat—
ment are divided into three sections. Part I deals with the number
of teachers and teachers’ salaries for the school year 1940-41.
Part II gives information concerning the teaching term of all teachers
in all districts for the school year 1940-41. Part III is given over to
information concerning financial support of education in Kentucky
by both the state and the local districts for 1940-41. All information
and data are reducible to records and reports new on file in the State i
Department of Education.
Part I
0f the 18,871 teaching positions in Kentucky, as shown by the
salary schedules of all districts for 1940-41, 12,828 are in county
school districts, 1,147 in independent school districts not embraced in
cities of the first four classes, and 4,901 in independent school. districts
in cities of the first four classes.
Method of treatment—The salary schedule for every school
district was considered. All monthly salaries have been translated to
annual salaries. The teacher has been classified as to race, sex, teach-
ing level, and annual salary interval.
Referring to Table 1, it is seen that the typical teacher in the
county system receives $611 per year. By referring to Table 2, it is
seen that the typical teacher ’s salary in independent school districts
not embraced in cities of the first four classes is $837, while the
annual salary for the typical teacher in districts embraced by cities
0f the first four classes is $1,286—«Table 3.
This difference is brought about by two causes: (1) the actual
amount of money paid in monthly salaries and (2) the difference in
the length of school term.
The median salary for all teachers in all districts, as shown by
the salary schedules for the year 1940-41, is $717—Table 4.
Interesting information is given by this table when it is seen that 8
.fllll-time teachers receive less than $350 per year. Further
11lspection reveals that 2,398 teachers receive less than $500
983
peryear, which means that these teachers receive a weekly wage of
$8.75 based on fifty—two weeks. Anyone who will stop to analyze
these facts will readily see that it is impossible for these teachers to
maintain a decent living standard, much less leave any surplus for
professional growth.
This can mean only one of two things: (1) the teacher is poorly
trained or (2) teaching is a side-line with the teacher receiving an
income from other sources, either in the form of personal assistance
from parents or relatives, or that the teacher is expending a part of
her energy in other work. In either event, the teaching profession
does not support her, and it is doubtful whether the profession is
benefited as much as it should be by her services.
In Table 5 data are treated with only one result in view; namely,
to show the number of men teachers and the number of women
teachers and the salary intervals into which each falls. Note that
the typical man teacher, regardless of race or teaching position,
receives $7 38 while the typical woman teacher receives $710. This is
considered evidence that the single salary-schedule plan is
functioning.
Table 6 is displayed to show the number of white teachers and
the number of colored teachers and the corresponding medians.
In Table 7 these data have received such treatment as to show
the number of elementary teachers and the number of high-school
teachers. The treatment here does not take into consideration
sex or teaching position. It is desirable to point out that the typical
elementary teacher receives an annual salary of $625 whereas the
typical high-school teacher receives an annual salary of $1,069. It is
the judgment of the writer that this table reveals the most discrimi-
nating practice carried 011 in the education system of Kentucky.
Only a fractional part of the difference represented by these two
typical salaries is in actual monthly salaries. The greater part of it
is brought about because of difference in term length. It has been
the general practice in a great many districts to operate the ele-
mentary schools for a seven~month period and the high schools for
a nine-month term. This fact, when considered in the annual sal-
ary of the teacher, reflects considerable difference.
However, it is only fair to point out that included in data
supporting the annual salary of the typical high—school teacher are
principals, coaches, vocational agriculture teachers, and home
economics teachers who invariably receive a higher salary than do the
other high-school teachers; and that high-school teachers are 0011'
siderably better trained than elementary teachers.

Note that these tables divide the teachers by race and show the annual
salary but do not show the teaching level.
Part II
The data used in Part ll of this bulletin are from the same source
as the data contained in Part I. All of this information has for its
foundation the salary schedules of all school. districts of the Com-
monwealth for 1940-41.
Treatment—The period of teaching employment for every
teacher has been broken into four major sections. Table 11 points out
the number of teachers and the teaching terms for the county school
districts. Table 12 gives the same information for independent school
districts not embraced in cities of the first four classes, while Table 13
reflects the same data and the same treatment for school districts in
cities of the first tour classes. Table 14 is simply a summary of the
data and treatment, and reflects the information concerning term of
employment for all teachers in all districts.
Referring to Table 11, it is seen that the range is from seven
months to twelve months in county school districts. It is desirable to
call to the reader’s attention that of the 12,823 teaching positions in
the county school system, 7,168 are maintained for a period not in
excess of seven months.
Considering this table again, it is seen that the average term of
teacher employment, expressed in months, in the white elementary
schools is 7.42, for the colored elementary teachers 7.62, for the white
high-school teachers 9.17, for the colored high—school teachers 9.08,
and for the total number of county teaching positions 7.79.
Table 12 shows a much more wholesome picture. Of the 1,147
teachers employed in districts of this classification, it is pleasing to
Ilote that 1,106 have an employment term of nine months or more.
it is interesting to compare the average length of term for the county
district and the average length of term for the independent districts
110t embraced in cities of the first four classes. The average term is
1-30 months longer in these independent districts than in the county
districts.
BY inspecting Table 13, it is seen that the period of employment
for the independent districts embraced in cities of the first four
Classes is considerably longer than in other school districts. Here no
teacher has a term of employment less than eight months, while the
average for this entire group of teachers is 9.57.
985
Turning to Table 1—1, it is seen that the typical teacher in the state
of Kentucky has a term of employment amounting to 8.33 months.
This when considered with the typical salary of $717 per year gives
a fair picture of both the opportunity afforded the average pupil
and the measure of economic security afforded the typical teacher.
Part III
All data and information contained in Part III of this bulletin
are submitted to show the financial support, financial ability, and
inequalities existing in various school systems in Kentucky.
Table 15 is given space to show the per census pupil assessment
of corporate and non-corporate property in every county school
district. The writer has not considered income from poll tax nor has
income from a levy on bank shares been considered, neither has any
allowance been made to take care of collection of school taxes and
delinquent taxes. Most districts have a poll tax; some do not.
Many districts do not request a levy on bank shares. Therefore, in
order to keep the foundation data on the same level for all districts,
only the assessment as indicated on general property and the assess-
ment of taxpaying franchise corporations have been considered.
In many county school districts, special taxes are levied in sub-
districts. The proceeds of such levies have not been considered in
this treatment. However, districts that do have special snbdistrict
taxes are indicated, as pointed out by information note 5, Table 15.
No particular comment is necessary on this table except to bring
to the attention of the reader the two extreme eases which establish
the range; namely, that VVoodford County has a per census pupil
assessment of $10,162 while Clinton County has a per census pupil
assessment wealth of $322, or a range of $9,840.
Table 16 is displayed to give the same in formation in independent
school districts not embraced in cities of the first four classes as has
been given in the counties, as set forth by Table 15. Here the range,
although enormous, is slightly less pronounced than in the countles.
To arrive at this range, compare Anchorage with a per census 13111311
assessment of $9,690 with Gatliff with a per census pupil assessmeIlt
of $152. The range in this group of districts is $9,538.
To complete this type of information, Table 17 is diSplaXed:
which gives the same information for the independent school districts
embraced in cities of the first four classes. For the sake of easy
comparison, the cities have been arranged by respective classe'S-
To find the range of $7,647, compare the assessed per census PUPll
wealth of Fort Thomas, $8,598, with Corbin, $951.

Table 18 is a simple summary of the information contained in
Tables 15, 16, and 17. In order to display two measures, both the
median and the mean are given; also the range is shown for each
particular group of districts as well as displaying the same informa-
tion for the entire public school system of the state.
It is interesting to note that the same relationship expressed by
the per census pupil assessed wealth is approximately the same as
the relationship expressed in teacher-employment term, as shown in
Tables 11, 12, and 13. To illustrate, the median for the assessed
wealth per census pupil in the county is $1,475; the average term of
teacher employment in the counties is 7.79. For the independent
school districts not embracing cities of the first four classes, the median
for the assessed wealth per census child is $1,891; whereas the average
term of teacher employment is 9.09. In independent school districts
embracing cities of the first four classes, the median of assessed wealth
per census child is $2,406; whereas the average term in these same
districts is 9.57.
Table 19 is displayed to show data and treatment to arrive at one
result; namely, to show inequalities in ability to support public
education among the various county school districts of the state.
Very little explanation seems to be necessary for the interpretation of
this table, except to point out the source of the foundation data.
Columns 2 and 3 have for the source data information con-
tained on general budgets received from each of these school dis-
tricts for the school year 1940-41.
Column 4, which shows the gross income, seems to need little
eXplanation. Possibly it would be well to say again that no allow-
ance has been made for collection of the school tax, nor has any
SIBduction been made for delinquent taxes. However, as pointed out
111 another part of this bulletin, the proceeds from poll taxes and
levies on bank shares have not been considered; therefore, it is the
indgment of the writer that for comparative purposes, the gross
Income here displayed for each district offers an accurate basis for
COlllparison.
Column 7 gives the amount of the state per capita distribution to
each district for the current year, 1940—41.
Column 10, which shows the maximum levy that may be
I'e‘luested for general school purposes in county districts, is based on
authority as found in Section 4399-40 and Section 4399—12a, Ken-
tacky Statutes.
Column 13 probably requires explanation. The school census as
0f May 1, 1940, shows that the number of children of educable age
Was 778,429. Using 18,871 as the number of teaching positions in
987
Kentucky, we find that the average number of census pupils taken
care of by one teaching position is 41. Dividing the number in the
district census by 41 gives the number of teaching positions in each
county district, provided the state average is maintained.
Column 14 shows how much money would be required for every
district to maintain a program of the same costliness as the average
Kentucky program. To arrive at the weighted cost per teaching
unit, $1,166, the amount of money spent for current school purposes
in both county and independent districts (expenditures for capital
outlay, transfer tuition, and debt service not considered) for the year
ending June 30, 1930, $22,007,63568, was divided by 18,871, which is
used as representing the number of teaching positions.
Column 15 shows the amount of money that the district would be
required to raise after deducting the state per capita.
Column 16 is used to show the levy that would be required on
local property subject to the school tax to produce the amount of
money necessary to maintain the average Kentucky school program
in every district. This levy is found by dividing the amount of
money that the district would be required to raise locally by the
assessed valuation, as shown in column 2.
In looking over the information given in column 16, it is seen
that one district would be required to make a levy of $5.02 on each
one hundred dollars of assessed valuation subject to the school levy.
The making of such a levy is impossible both from the standpoint of
legality and practicability. The present law limits the tax to be
levied in county districts to $0.75, except as authorized under Section
4399—12a, Kentucky Statutes, while economic ability to pay such a
levy would preclude its imposition even though the legal limitations
were removed.
Data of independent school districts have not been subjected to
the same treatment because of lack of time.
Summary
Thus it is seen that before Kentucky can have equality in educa-
tional support and opportunity, new plans and laws must be
considered in order that those districts which need assistance bey011d
their capacity to help themselves may receive that assistance without
impairing the efficiency and scope of the educational program in any
other school district.
