Fichter Seeks State Funds to Open S Scha Schools
Meigs County boards heard Ohio education official Joseph Fichter warn that without new state funds the school aid program will fall about 6700 dollars short to operate. He urged boards to borrow locally to cover debts and to prepare the 1933 34 budget, basing needs on an estimated sixteen dollars per pupil. Fichter stressed equal opportunity and anticipated fuel tax gains and real estate tax reforms to boost per pupil funding.
