Texas to Give $15 Per Student in School Funds
State Superintendent S. M. N. Marrs announced the next scholastic apportionment will be $15 per child, the highest in Texas history, aided by a budget balance over $1 million in the available school fund and no new textbook purchases. The figure covers about 1,360,000 students with 45 counties still reporting. total apportionment could reach $20.4 million if the census hits target, likely repeating for 1928-29 with a $1.506 million supplement from the Legislature.
