Pennsylvania school budgets stress teacher pay as costs rise
Denison Harrisburg reports that Pennsylvania's 505 school districts face a tough 1976-77 budget cycle with education costs driven by instruction, notably classroom teacher pay. In 1974-75 instruction costs reached 1.7 billion, with 1.5 billion for teachers, while total current expenditures rose to 2.7 billion. The trend, amid higher costs, lower enrollments and reduced state aid, foreshadows a difficult year for local officials negotiating contracts and shaping budgets.
