California schools to receive eighty million windfall
California schools will gain eighty million dollars from a record state surplus of five hundred twenty four million. Republican Controller Houston I Flournoy announced the extra aid surpassing Ronald Reagan's original estimate of twenty million while Weinberger cautioned about funding other programs.

The surplus for 1968 69 exceeded expectations due to forty four million in higher revenue and thirty five million in lower expenditures.
