Funds Needed To Properly Educate Children Says NEA
Cleveland AP The NEA hears a study showing every American child should get 185 per pupil to reach 1940 educational levels, needing about 1 billion more than last year’s 3.5 billion expenditure. Dr. F G Cornell of Illinois reports at the convention noting current funding relies on local taxes. The workshop chair John M Booth notes the average national expenditure falls short of a modern program. Public education must seek non local revenue and broader public support to meet needs.
