Texas educators will take on a new role to influence student behavior as the Legislature funds crime prevention and drug education with 90 cents per student for districts' average daily attendance. The plan, led by Pecos Barstow Toyah schools and WTEC at Midland Air Terminal, aims to train teachers by 1980 to apply these methods in their schools and communities.
Pecos-Barstow-Toyah school district trustees unanimously refused any early- payment discount on property taxes for oil and mineral holders and landowners within the district.
