Hit By
Cutback
ii ’*
Georgia school systems are
feeling the effects of
Presidential impoundment of
education funds this year at the
rate of at least $8 million,
Georgia School Superintendent
Jack P. Nix told a
Congressional hearing Tuesday
in Washington.
The State Superintendent,
appearing before Sen. Sam
Ervin’s Subcommittee on
Separation of Powers and the
Ad Hoc Committee on Im
poundment, told the Com
mittee :
“Under Title 111 of the
National Defense Education
Act, expressly covered by your
Continuing Resolution, the
states were to have received SSO
million, the same appropriation
as in FY 1972. Georgia’s share
would have been at least $1.3
million for the purchase of
instructional equipment for
mathematics, science and
reading programs, remodeling
of buildings and purchase of
audiovisual equipment for use
in these programs...
“In addition, as best we can
tell, Georgia school systems
have not received the estimated
$6.6 million that was to have
been allocated under the federal
Impact Aid program...intended
to relieve the hardships caused
by the location of federal in
stallations in certain areas,”
Nix said.
As evidence of the problems
being caused Georgia school
systems by funds im
poundment, Nix cited details
concerning five counties—
Columbia, Dougherty, Liberty,
Muscogee and Chatham—of the
estimated 83 counties affected.
“The problems are much
greater than the mere loss of
federal dollars,” Nix told the
Committee. “These systems, in
anticipation of receiving impact
funds as usual this year, had
committed themselves and
their boards of education by
including the funds in the
general education budget and
contracting with personnel to
fill positions. The systems must
pav for these services and cut
corners in other programs.. .The
problems do exist today, and
they will be worse next year as
the full force of these cutbacks
is felt.”
Nix continued: “The practice
of executive impoundment of
funds is by no means unusual,
but it has reached new and
astounding proportions in
recent months. The issue can be
construed as a showdown over
who is to determine how much
funding programs are to
receive. At the very least it is an
obstacle' to effective planning
for and administration of
federal funds for public
elementary and secondary
education. It is also part of a
larger problem that can be
solved only by the complete
overhaul of the federal
budgetary process...
“Federal aid to education has
been a significant factor in
raising the overall level of
public education in Georgia and
other states.
