"The Montana Taxation-Education Study Commission arranged with the Division of Surveys and Field Services, George Peabody College for Teachers, for a comprehensive study of selected public school problems during 1957-58. By agreement the study was limited to four major areas: Organization and Administration; Elementary Education; Secondary Education; and School Finance. Problems of certification, teachers salaries, pupil transportation, etc. were not to be included. The staff report is addressed to the Commission. Its concerns, however, is for the State of Montana, which must consider the problems identified and work for their solution after the Commission disbands. For this reason, many observations and suggestions are made to local school systems and are not matters requiring Commission or the Legislative Assembly. Various proposals and recommendations may be endorsed, revised and modified, or deleted on the basis of Commission judgment" (page ii).
