State Board Asked to Approve 19 Percent Education Budget Hike
The Virginia State Board of Education was urged to approve a two year budget 19 above current levels totaling 1.9 billion dollars for 1978 80. The plan faces pressure from a 9 cap proposed by the state budget office as officials weigh rising costs mandated programs and a growing testing and special education agenda. The budget would boost handicapped education funds to 94 million and push statewide testing and teacher internship requirements, triggering debate over impact on Virginia’s teacher supply and quality standards.
