Private schools struggle despite Nixon pledge
The nation’s private and parochial schools face funding gaps more than a year after President Nixon pledged support. Enrollment has fallen across private elementary and high schools, especially boarding schools, as inflation raises tuition to levels beyond many families. Endowments, teacher salaries, and costs push up tuition. state funding remains scarce. Public schools fear higher costs and continued private school closings could add billions to public budgets. Nixon warned that widespread private-school failures could threaten public schools too.
