Daniels and OCEA Fire Back at Legislature Over School Funding
Ohio lawmakers hear counter figures from Sen. Daniels and the Ohio Education Association in response to the Ballard committee report. Daniels argues the 1945-46 data underestimates 1947-48 resources, suggesting up to 100 million dollars could fund the Daniels-Cramer Bill raising teacher salaries to a $2,000 minimum. OEA contends true 1947-48 resources must be shown, while the OFA backs using the state 161 million dollar reserve for buildings and urges honest estimates.
