Hoff Challenged On Sales Tax
Stewart E. Allen of the Bennington School District urged Gov. Philip H. Hoff to keep an open mind about a sales tax in Vermont. He rebutted Hoff’s view that added state aid reduces local property taxes, noting a 32 percent tax jump this year and needs for a new 25 room elementary school and a 20 room high school addition. Allen warned against regressive effects without more aid and said voter resistance is rising.

Bennington Board weighs postgraduate costs and salaries
Bennington and Mt. Anthony school leaders debated funding postgraduates for 1967-1968 and potential growth of postgraduate enrollments.

The non graded program at Cora B Whitney was reviewed as a mixed system aiding individual growth. The hurricane section notes 28 tornadoes in Texas with Brownsville hardest hit and city crews and National Guardsmen addressing damage.
