Income to Be Formula Factor in Ohio Education Funding
A legislative committee to the Ohio State Board of Education recommends using personal income as a factor in the equal yield formula for public education. It urges full funding of the formula, no tax-rate reductions after reassessments, and state support raised to at least 50 percent. The report calls for $563 million in state aid to match local funds for vocational education and at least $30 million for classroom needs, plus $8 million for building construction to aid small poor districts.

Fewer Federal Forms Cut but Time to Fill Rises
President Ford achieved a 10 percent cut in federal forms, reducing total forms to 4,418 by November from 4,504 in June. Yet hours to complete forms rose by nearly 13 million to 143 million as more students seek federal aid and a new pension law expands required paperwork. The HEW and Labor departments drive the increased burden despite form reductions.
