Budget concerns drive Middletown school levy push
School finance committee members led by Schaefer and Reeder scrutinized next year’s budget line by line as expenses rose sharply. They argue a $2.7 million levy is a near penny cut to cover inflation and a small salary raise, calling it a survival levy to keep schools at a minimal level amid public caution on new taxes.

State aid called obsolete by Education Commissioner
U S Commissioner of Education Terror Bell declares old state aid formulas for schools obsolete and unjust. He notes declining city property values while property tax remains the main funding source, leading to disparities between rich and poor cities. He cites 1965 federal aid for large numbers of poor students as insufficient, with $2 billion annual funding making little dent.
