Abstract:
The politics of school funding during this time involved many contenting forces: black versus white; rural versus urban; six month school year versus nine; special and charter districts versus city and county. Legislation proposed included a luxury tax, the MacLean Bill, and a revenue bill. While not considered by some the fairest solution, the 1933 school bill that generated a sales tax, state control over the school system, and a uniform eight month school year was declared the sanest.
