State Primary Money Up To 715 Per Pupil
County school commissioner Miss Cora Haas reports state primary school funds this year rise to 15 dollars per pupil from 11.39 last year. The increase stems from inheritance tax revenue from Senator James Couzens, aimed at offsetting broader state aid cuts. Districts with closed seventh and eighth grades must cover the deficit.
