After a three hour session the Corry Area Joint School budget reached a new record total of 2,209,176, up 256,204 from last year. State mandated teacher pay hikes plus rising costs pushed the figure, with local funds to cover the increases and future reimbursement expected next year.
Erie County schools superintendent may appear in Crawford County court to show cause why the merger of Corry Area School Jointure and Sparta Merged Schools should be halted.

The action stems from a planned directors convention that would elect nine of 42 to operate the merged district and run the interim committee before full formation of the state mandated entity.
Pentagon officials say rapid gains allowed President Nixon to pull 21 of 29 ships from Task Force 71 off Korea while maintaining reconnaissance flights.
