Approved March 28, 1919.

Sect. 20 (1) Amend Public Statutes, chapter 92, section 1, so that it will read: SECTION 1. The school board of every district shall provide standard elementary schools for at least thirty-six weeks in each year at such places in the district as will best serve the interests of education and give to all the pupils within the district as nearly equal advantages as are practicable. (2) If the school board of any district shall decide that by reason of special conditions or circumstances, the maintenance of standard elementary schools for thirty-six weeks in said district seems unreasonable, or that less than a minimum tax will raise sufficient money to comply with the provisions of this act, said school board may so represent in writing to the state board. If, upon hearing and full consideration of such representations, the state board shall be of the opinion that maintenance of standard elementary schools in such district for thirty-six weeks is unreasonable, or that less than a minimum tax will raise sufficient money to comply with the provisions of this act, it may reduce the time or maintaining such standard elementary schools in said district below thirty-six weeks, or may fix the tax rate for raising school money for any current year in such district below the minimum required by this act...
