Governor Kerner vetoes school aid bill in Illinois
Springfield Aug 30 AP Gov Otto Kerner vetoed a bill to boost state aid to common schools by 32 million while critics argue it would ease finances for districts facing rising enrollments. The veto keeps the foundation level at 252 per pupil instead of rising to 297, sparking debate over state versus local funding and a proposed constitutional amendment to adjust local property taxes. Other vetoed measures included higher legislative salaries and a plan to allow schools to recite the Star-Spangled Banner in place of prayer. State Superintendent Ray Page accused Kerner of delaying action as schools begin the new year.
