State explores budget for public schools at Raleigh meeting

Woltz, a commission member, said the state already oversees the system and has reduced school ad valorem taxes to about 30 cents per hundred. Moore argued the state should cover all school costs and raise funds through legislature, while Woltz noted the commission's duty to draft a bill for more economical administration.
