Area school districts not
defying new fee opinion
School districts in the CuerO-
DeWitt County area are
apparently complying with the
state attorney general’s ruling
against charging student fees.
The subject was expected to be
discussed at the Thursday night
meeting of the Cuero
Independent School Board,
according to Dr. Harold High,
president.
Some districts have not ruled
on the controversial issue.
Some have said they will ignore
the ruling and continue
collecting fees on a limited
basis.
Much of the controversy
centers around the collecting of
fees for student driver
education and most school
districts have indicated they
will drop the program in face of
increased taxes to support it.
CISD Superintendent Dr. E. E.
Sims reported recently that the
district was expecting to collect
approximately $10,000 in
student fees this year.
“This willdefinately hurt the
program,” Sims was quoted as
say.
In the Yorktown district, Supt.
Ben Stricklin said $1,420 of the
$5,606 anticipated this year in
student fees was still
outstanding, and that he would
recommend to his board that no
refunds be made and no m6re
fees be collected.
In Yoakum Supt. Harold Knape
said his district will abide by the
TEA (Texas Education
Association) guidelines and

It was reported that Gov.
Dolph Briscoe is now studying
the Traffic Safety Act to
determine if he has authority
“to provide possible financial
relief in the area of driver
educations.”
If the State Board of Education
should remove a school’s
accreditation the school could
lose some stats education funds
and its graduates might be
required to take entrance
examinations to enter state
colleges.

Atty. Gen. John Hill, be said the

Constitution setting up “public
free schools” means that only
