State Board Eyes Cuts in Education Budget
The Arkansas State Education Department asked to restrain expenditures on textbooks, audio-visual aids, and departmental needs until the 1957-58 budget review in December. Ford said the board instructed that totals be held to 751 900,000 for audio-visuals, 75,000 for equipment, and 300,000 for expenses, with reductions framed as necessary cuts but not policy shifts. The board planned to decide on further budget reductions after a revenue picture emerges.
