Parochial aid plan sparks debate in Bennington hearing
In Bennington a heated meeting questioned the fiscal sense of aiding Catholic Sacred Heart School. Officials argued the public education cost for 85 students would be 63 750 dollars versus 30 000 dollars under aid, while opponents warned it could drain state funds from public schools. The clergy and board pressed for future planning amid building concerns and questions about enrollment placement if aid is not granted.

Pownal Plans Speech Therapy Pilot With ESEA Funds
The Pownal board approves a 30 week speech therapy pilot using $750 federal funds and $750 total local match to train a therapy aide led by Nurse JoAnne Anderson. A five member panel will raise a $1,500 health fund to finance medical and dental workups for children with speech difficulties. If successful, the program could expand within the Bennington union, potentially growing to 10 to 12 aides across schools. The plan notes most speech problems are articulation issues best treated by intensive therapy.
