Grundy County Schools Face Reduced State Aid for 1973-74
Grundy County public schools will receive about $171,000 less in state aid for the 1973-74 year. The county's 12 districts total $1,247,040.76 in aid, down from $1,417,808.30, due largely to a new state formula and small countywide enrollment. Meadors cited monthly installments and noted two districts lack final figures. Morris District gets $468,750.98, with other amounts listed for Coal City, Nettle Creek, Saratoga, Gardner, and more.
