August Apportionment Delayed by Texas Education Funds
Special to The Light from Austin Texas June 15 reports the Texas Department of Education cannot make the usual monthly apportionment of the available school fund because only 60 000 remains and 260 000 is needed for the final 30 cent per capita on 991 400 students. The delay pushes the final apportionment to August 1 or later as funds are insufficient and the state still owes 6 1 2 cents per capita for the year.
