Corry School Bonus To Be 49890 In 71
Under a new state school subsidy law signed by Governor Milton Shapp the Corry Area School District will receive an immediate subsidy increase of 49 900 this year and 49 900 plus 44 362 next year according to DOE figures released to State Senator R Budd Dwyer. The exact recipient between the former Corry Area Jointure and the new Corry Area School District remains unclear with a noted discrepancy compared with Union City Area subsidies. Dwyer notes the calculations depend on multiple factors including poverty density and population sparsity with some criteria federal and others state based and expects revised figures.

Tax Vote Stalemate Ends With School Aid Bill Passed
After weeks of standoff the Pennsylvania legislature approved a $103.8 million school aid package and a $3.2 billion budget while delaying final action on a 2.3 percent income tax. House leaders traded tax passage for Senate-backed budget and school aid approval, though Senate appropriations chair Donolow opposed final budget passage. The school aid bill cleared the House 165 to 31 and the Senate 31 to 4, with Gov. Shapp signing shortly after.
