Hale-Aiken Committee Outlines Texas School Reform Plan
The Hale-Aiken Committee of Twenty-Four issues a tentative report urging full 12 grade or 10 month school years with 180 to 190 days, non English speaking preschool units, and a state salary schedule with bachelor's and master's scales. It calls for federal aid in vocational education and school lunch programs while favoring state control of education and suggests funding text books from the Available School Fund. The Brewster County group invites public input and meets at Alpine High School at 7:20 tonight.
