County Teachers Oppose James Plan on Education Aid
The Caroline County Teachers Association declares the James Committee Bill offers insufficient state aid to meet rising education needs. It cites about 140000 dollars in proposed annual aid with 20 percent for operations and the rest to recruit teachers, urging guarantees that funds be used for education. The note praises Superintendent W S Hoppengrander but stresses persistent staffing challenges and calls for broader support from state educational groups.
