Californians see slim chance of new school aid in 1971
Sacramento officials led by Wilson C. Riles and Senate and Assembly education chairs say there is virtually no chance California will gain substantial state aid for schools this year. They cite the California Supreme Court ruling on school financing and time limits before the new academic year. Proposals vary from $100 million immediate to $246 million total, but climate and timing doom a large package this session.
