In all of its planning and discussion, the UFE felt the $14 million was an accomplished fact and should be placed in the “A'l budget.” / If the $14 million granted to teachers vlast year on a contin gent basis is placed in the “B” budget, the UFE will be forced to fight again tor an item they feel they have already won. Daw son pointed out. The United Forces request for an additional $45 expenditure per child \ is slated to provide funds to match federal money under the National Defense Edu cation Act, and reduce class sice, up salaries for all school person nel, preside sicl leave for teach ers, clerical aid for principals, and extend terms for schools.
