Scope and Content Note

This series contains the records of the Department's decisions in the issuance of certificates that allowed school districts to receive state aid for building projects that did not conflict with the existing Master Plan for School District Organization. Included among these records are correspondence and memoranda, applications for certification of building aid, occasional copies of the Commissioner's certificate of impedance or non-impedance, worksheets for computing state aid, blueprints of proposed building projects, and clippings. For most counties the series contains a single folder, but in some cases there are separate files for individual central or enlarged city school districts. At the beginning of the series are a few general files which include memoranda summarizing the district reorganization and state aid processes.
