President Maps School Aid Plan
The Eisenhower administration will outline a federal aid plan for public school construction and a parallel college program. The two programs, likely totaling about two billion dollars, would be managed by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and focus on debt service for long term financing. The college bill aims for about 400 million dollars annually for student housing and academic facilities, covering bond and interest costs. The school program mirrors prior administration figures, offering debt service support rather than grants or bond purchases.
