Kennedy Plan Proposes $1 Billion A Year Education Aid
The Kennedy administration aims to send a five year program to Congress providing $1 billion annually in grants for public education. States choose use for construction or teacher salaries, plus scholarships and fellowships to boost teaching staff. The plan forecasts about $900 million for schools and $100 million for aid, with about $30 per pupil, excluding private and parochial enrollments. Poorer states and large cities with tax restrictions would receive additional support.
