Ohio governor unveils $1.1 billion school aid plan
Gov. James A. Rhodes proposed a nine point program to boost basic education in Ohio. The agenda envisions at least 1.1 billion dollars more state aid over four years with no new taxes, financed by projected state income growth to 1983 and cost controls. It includes tax relief reimbursements, local mandate freezes, an emergency aid fund, and a constitutional amendment directing income and lottery revenues to schools. Rhodes warned lawmakers must craft an equitable funding formula and noted enrollment declines while promising to cover debt retirement for needy districts.
