South rural schools face loss of federal aid
Washington reports that southern and rural states would lose significant federal school aid due to population and income shifts from the 1960 to 1970 censuses. New York and California would gain most of the funds under ESEA, prompting Congress to seek new formulas acceptable to both North and South. The administration proposes replacing ESEA with a revenue sharing plan and has not budgeted funds. Under ESEA, aid depends on the number of low income students and welfare recipients, times a per pupil expenditure factor.
