Sesser confident school subsidy bill to pass state boards
William Sesser of Erie said the state school subsidy bill has cleared Education Committee and will move to floors. Lester, ally of Henley, praised the measure as a milestone in state education subsidies. The bill would affect the Corry Union City merger, boosting aid from 6 345 pupils to 1,373,020, with 258,561 more state aid and about 6,500 for transportation. If enacted, Union City could drop its appeal and proceed with the merger with Sparta Merged Schools.

Backup Force of National Guard Due
Washington AP reports Pennsylvania will provide the largest share of 16,402 guardsmen and reservists joining a 150,000 force forming a first line backing the regular Army.
