Thornburgh Sees Gloomy Prospects for School Aid Hikes
Harrisburg reports Gov. Dick Thornburgh projects no large increase in state aid for Pennsylvania's 505 school districts this year. He notes the $130 million boost in 1979-80 did not curb local tax hikes as hoped, inflation undermining gains and leaving 50 percent state funding still a distant target. He weighs inflation needs, PSEA pressure, and a possible shift to a percentage gasoline tax proposal.
