Public Schools Aid Bill Faces $1.6 Billion Scope
Administration and Washington sources outline a three year plan and five year extensions totaling about 1.6 billion dollars aimed at public elementary and secondary schools. Funding would rely on Census figures of families earning 2,000 dollars or less per year, with flexibility for future year changes. The program would encourage cooperation with private schools, support mobile libraries and labs, and require no cut in existing state education spending. Civil Rights Act protections apply to all programs, preventing racial segregation and discrimination in federal funds.
