Volpe proposes funds cutoff to curb school imbalance
Governor Volpe files a bill authorizing the state Board of Education to withhold state or federal funds from districts failing to reduce racial imbalance. The plan defines imbalance as more than 39 percent nonwhite students and would require districts to craft plans toward desegregation, with possible open enrollment changes and interdistrict exchanges. The measure, part of a 19 page message, aims to pressure progress while backing city and town education aid.
