A blue-ribbon governor's com- j 1965 Legislature,
mittee has recommended a nwwu- gram* to point
mental 10-year plan tor lmpiwing
Texas public school education thai
mill triple coats and require a $300
to $400 million tax bill next year.
The 15-mnmber pare! said It*
plan would lift sdx*>U out of "me-
diocrity" an<1 "inefficiency."
Hlgaligbt ? the report .nclude
recommendations for more and
better-paid t. dchers, free kinder-
gartens, expanded free education
for adults, required consolidation
of small school districts, additional
benefits for teachers and encour-
agement of educational innovations
and experimentation.
Committee, named by Gov. John
Carnally and authorized by the
heritage of minority group* and
to encourage human dignity.
Altogether the proposals of this
Committee on Public School Edu-
cation would increase local, state
and federal school costs In Texas
from £840 million to $2.1 billion at
tbt end of 10 years. Under the plan
about tour per cent of the state's
income would have to go to schools.
.Some $603 million more would be
required, bulk from state sources,
for 1970-71.
also urges pro-1 dents, and 10 free hours a week
up the cultural j for teachers to grade papers, plan
lessons and study. Non-teachers
would be used for routine super-
visory duties in some cases.
Although the Immediate pay
raise is less than the $1,000 sought,
by Texas State Teachers Associa-
tion, Committee said recommen-
dations would provide "nation's
best state-guaranteed salary plan "
Pi
Committee recommended simpli-
fication In the complex finance for-
mula to figure locai school district
costs, to provide that the local
districts' 20 to 25 per cent share
' would be based on taxable property
values. Local share, of course,
wo Id go up akjriK with the state's.
School building would remain a
local responsibility.
Key recommendations include:
•Increasing basic allotments from
$23 to $50 pei pupil, plus additions
for transportation, materials and
vocational teachcrs.
"Providing basic foundation pro-
ifram" to replace 20-year old mini-
mum foundation program.
'Adding 16,000 teachers, even
though enrollment may decrease
slightly (by about 22,0001. This
would provide a pupil-teacher ratio
of 21 to one instead of 21 to one.
•Increasing teacher pay from
W.73-! minimum to $5,400 in 1'*39-70
and $6,300 the following year. Maxi-
mum pay would go up from $6.-
912 to $8,800 by 1970-71, as covered
by state guarantee
"Incorporating 17-step pay scale
in 1971-72. This would provide S3.-
000 for teacher aides and go up to I
$28,567 for administrators. APPOINTMENTS
