State superintendent Wilson C. Riles told the Senate Education Committee that California’s education quality is slipping due to inadequate financing. He backed a proposed $3.75 per $100 property tax to fund schools, noting California ranks 42nd in class size and faces 9,000 fewer teachers with 100,000 more students. The committee postponed action on the measure and rival plans.
