funds totaling $1l,0l0.000. It
has an operating outlay Of $40.-
256, 0O0-and increase Of So
009. $50 over the current fiscal
year.
Barring unforeseen develop
ments in projected enrolment
figures and construction delays
and. Of course. the attitude
Of CongresS-the city could
realize the 80 to one goal by
fiscal 1868.
Seek Nine Sites
Closely tied to this opportu-
nifty TO serve a better-if costly
brand Of education locally is
another developments. The
District has decided to move
now TO obtain some nine school
building sites for future use
instead of waiting until over
crowding exists in a number Of
existing buildings. 1t was in
this decision the principle Of
30-to-l was adopted.
With congressional approval
OF the budget. the school sys-
TENS search for new sites TO
meet the desired 30-to-l ratio
would be over. The Commits
sioners. backed by the Budget
Bureau. also applied the 30-to-l
goal in approving additions and
conversions Of existing build
ings.
Still. the ratio of 80 to / is
only an average. Some classes
will still be oyercrowded. For
example. under the current ra-
ito Of slightly under 80 to !.
there are liz classes with 81
pupils and "a with 40 children.
To bring this ratio down to
80 to by September there is
a request for 100 regular class
room teachers. The cost !:
$6o3. 900.
Fight Expected
School officials expect a fight
in Congress over justifying the
teachers. If the l22 positions
are approved, it viii neceSsitate
a search to find space for the
teachers. This has been caused
by construction delays. Some
of them will be absorbed in the
heavy number of part-time
classes expected next Septem-
ber-at least $50. compared to
the las part-time classes un-
derway now.
