Under the measure to be

distributing aid to education
for the disadvantaged would be
modified and a number of
special purpose grant pro
grams woulo be consolidated
The new formula for distri
buting the Title I funds for
educating the disadvantaged
would count children in
families with below $.1,000
incomes, instead of the present
$2.00U limitation It would aUo

City Ready
For l8t Day
Public schools in North
Carolina will be better prepar
ed for opening this fall ^an
they have ever been in the
state's history.
They will be better prepared
because of the extension of the
employment term for teachers
enact^ by the 1973 General
Assembly, according to Dr. A.
C Dawson, executive secre
tary of the N.C. Association of
Educators.
"Since our teachers will
begin their year more than a
week before the children begin,
our teachers will have time to
prepare records, rooms and
materials before the children
arrive." Dr. Dawson explain
ed
"In the past, many teachers
did this preparation on their
own time without pay.
"Other teachers did the
preparation during the first
few days of school and let the
children go without instruc
tion." Dr. Dawson continued.
"And sadly, some just didn't
get it done, which meant their
children got less than they
should have in educational
quality"
Dr Dawson pointed out that
the General Assembly has
assured every child of a
teacher who is prepared and
ready to begin instruction on
the first day the child attends
school.
The General Assembly ex
tended the teachers’ work year
from 187 days to 10 calendar
