Local businessmen offer funds to Ray learning center
Anonymous local businessmen threaten to fund the Ray Learning Center for the 1972 school year if the board of education omits the center from the revised budget. Principal Sal Vallina says the money would be accepted but board support is essential to sustain ongoing innovation and learning flexibility. The center serves 42 pupils from 11 District 14 schools with vocal training and zero cost to the board, while advanced math students receive computer instruction at no charge. Irving Horwitz urges the board to preserve the center in planning budget cuts.
