Creator: Department of Education (RG 50)

Collection Summary: Reports and school bus route planning maps submitted by school districts to the Department of Education outlining the various routes within the district and numbers of children picked up at bus stops on each route.  All plans had to follow department guidelines and were approved by the department prior to implementation.  These requirements were originally codified by House Bill 6, Extraordinary Session of 1953 (Chapter 15 of the Session Laws) and are still maintained in current law.  Many of the maps are oversized but have not been unfolded.  Files on all 82 counties are included.

Access Restrictions: None.

Date(s): 1970-1977.

Volume: 14.5 Cubic Feet.

Record Group History: The first two state constitutions, 1817 and 1832, did not provide for a system of public education, and it was not until 1846 that the first common school law of the state was enacted. Prior to 1868, the establishment and funding of public schools rested with county officials. The state constitution of 1868 provided for the first Superintendent of Public Education, which specified that he shall be elected for a term of four years, at the same time and in the same manner as the governor. The Superintendent of Public Education was also to have general supervision of the common schools and educational interests of the state. The Department of Education in the modern era is charged with the execution of all laws relating to the administrative, supervisory and consultative services to the public schools, agricultural high schools, and junior colleges in the state.
