Eisenhower asks Congress for 2 Billion Aid Plan for Schools
President Eisenhower proposed a five year federal program totaling about 2 billion dollars for school construction and planning. He sought authority to purchase up to 750 million dollars in local school bonds if markets cannot supply funds with reasonable rates and called for 20 million dollars for state planning grants. The plan links federal funds to state and local matching, with wealthier states contributing more per dollar than poorer ones. The proposal aims to address a projected need for roughly 470 000 classrooms over five years and to stimulate local efforts without eroding incentives.
