Eight Million Dollar School Aid Bill Before House Action
DES MOINES AP The major school aid proposal seeks eight million dollars yearly for general aid. The House appropriations committee recommended passage with slight opposition. The Senate has not yet taken up the measure. The bill, backed by the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and the Iowa State Education Association, would add to existing aid funded by the state general fund and would provide 11 cents per day for elementary pupils and 14 cents per day for high school students for each day of attendance.

Funds for Iowa school aid rise amid committee debate
The measure would raise total annual school aid to about 18 million dollars, after backers sought 15 million and minor changes were rejected. An added bill would fund handicapped children facilities with reduced sums, while a senate panel proposed compulsory reorganization of public school districts with eight member State and seven member county committees chosen by district conventions.
