FUNCTIONS
Functions include locating, licensing, and stocking public shelters of the
city and county, and organizing and training volunteer groups for servicing
these shelters in time of emergencies.
FINANCING
The Department is operating largely with funds from Fort Wayne; the
county provides salary for the Deputy Director and some items in the budget
are funded by the federal government.
SCHOOLS
Public Schools
The School Reorganization Act passed by the State Legislature in 1959
abolished "township school units" and created guidelines for consolidating
school corporations. In Allen County the Circuit Judge appointed a School
Reorganization Committee of nine members to study existing school corporations
and to propose a plan for equity in school rates and a more efficient
use of public funds expended for public education. The result was the reorganization
of the county into four school corporations, each one a legal
entity serving as an administrative unit for the management, operation and
financing of local public schools.
FINANCING
School systems in Allen County are financed from two major sources of
funds - local property taxes and state aid allotted to local school corporations
by the State of Indiana. About one-half of all tax money raised in Allen
County is allotted to local schools. State assistance to local schools is based
on a formula, taking into consideration the assessed valuation of each school
unit, average daily attendance, and the training and experience of licensed
teaching personnel.
EAST ALLEN COUNTY SCHOOLS
The East Allen County School district was formed in July, 1964. It is a
consolidation of the New Haven Public Schools (Adams township), and school
districts of Cedar Creek, Springfield, Scipio, Maumee, Milan, Jackson, Jeffer-
