Tuesday, February 12, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Basic School Fund Distribution Hit Portland U.R) The chair man of the Portland school board lashed out last night at the Oregon Education associa tion and the Oregon Council of Parents and Teachers for sup porting a plan to change distri bution of basic school funds. Chairman Herbert M. Schwab said the plan would work a seri ous hardship on Portland and some 'other districts in the state. Schwab told a school board meeting he found it hard to un derstand why the OEA and PTA would publicly endorse a bill which he said was "unsound" and would "seriously weaken the Portland school system as well as certain other districts in terms of available funds." The plan, called the "key dis trict plan," would set a mini mum educational program in terms of money spent per child by the local district and equal ize school taxes all over the state. It is now before the legis lature. v Schwab said that if the plan went into effect without increas ing the basic school fund from its present S80 per census child it would take away about S4 million of the some S6 million Portland gets annually from the state.
