Senator Ellis Statement
On Education Bill
Recognizing the importance of providing improved educational opportunity for all
our children, I will support in the Senate of the General Assembly ©f Georgia the legisla
tive program for education. J 5 Aegisia
The most important bill, in my opinion, for the betterment of education which I
Senat ° rs ' ls Smate Eilllß °' WUI completely revise and
tion Program of Education. The
bill has 64 pages dealing with
every phase of education.
Six of the most significant
changes in the minimum foun
dation program would:
1. Allot teachers throughout
the State on the basis of one for
every 25 high school students
and one for every 28 elementary
students.
2. Increase the ratio between
State and local support from
85% State and 15% local to 80%
State and 20% local, the in
crease in local support being one
percentage point per year for
five years beginning with the
1965-1966 school year.
3. Require local systems to
help pay for 11 categories in
education instead of the pres
ent 3.
4. Establish a uniform budget
and accounting system for con
trol of finances of local units,
and State approval of local
budgets.
5. Provide for an audit of the
financial records and accounts
of the local unit.
6. Provide for a percentage of
State funds to be withheld if
the local unit fails to provide or
use the amount of local funds
required to be raised and used.
Under the provisions of Sen
ate Bill 180, Clayton County will
be required to increase its local
support by approximately $142,-
573.00, but will receive approxi
mately $548,000.00 in additional
funds from the State, a net gain
of approximately $405,427.00.

J Races Set for September
Although the majority of the elected positions in Clayton J
County will be filled in the April 4th Democratic Primary s?
there are certain other offices which must be filled in the ®
■ state-wide primary to be held in September. Those offices N
include: the Judge of the Superior Court, Solicitor General,
: and Senator of the 44th Senatorial District.
It has been customary that the state-wide primary be
: held on the second Wednesday in September; however, the
State Democratic Executive Committee has not as yet met
| and established the date for this year.
In the case of the Judge of the Superior Court and the I
J Solicitor General it is necessary to make the race at this time
because these are state jobs. In the case of the Senate post,
however, the race will be held at the time of the state pri
mary because the 44th District comprises three counties
i (Clayton, Henry, Rockdale) and the county primaries in these
■ counties do not coincide.
Qualifications for these positions will be opened as soon B
1 as the State Committee sets the date.
