Saint Paul Tackles Its School Problem
Saint Paul undertook a broad overhaul of its public school system after World War II, forming citizen committees to study needs, shifting population, and funding. The plan includes about $9 million in bonds for building and modernization, plus a proposed $6 million for high schools, with salaries rising and efforts to attract qualified teachers while engaging private schools in support. The city also partners with the Hazelden Foundation to address alcoholism in industry, aiming to reform six of ten men treated over three years.
