New NC education plan aims for statewide reform
The Study Commission on the Public School System proposed a $300 million two biennium plan for North Carolina to modernize education. It backs universal kindergartens phased in over six to eight years, higher teacher pay to national averages, and a reorganized Department of Public Instruction with the state superintendent as head. Local mergers, broader health programs, basal textbooks, and expanded bus and lunch aid are included. The plan envisions more federal funds and greater local contributions to reach the goal.
