a formal petition with the State
Board Of Education yesterday
asking the board to brand as
illegal q series Of budget cuts
made by the Montgomery
County School Board and the
Montgomery County Council.
Willard Cas-, the association
president. asked that the State
board rule that the county
school budget had been reduced
below State minimums.
He said cuts in the county
school budget had been made
by both the local board and the
county council and that the
local board had failed to pro-
test council cuts.
He complained specifically
that the number of supervisory
positions had been reduced be-
low the one-to-50 ratio required
by law and that the number of
physical education instructors
was insufficient for elementary
school students to get the re-
quired number of physical ed
ucation course hours each week.
He said further that funds
for an evening high school also
had been slashed in an at
tempt to close the school.
Mr.. Cass asked the State
board to order a public hearing
