Parents For Local Control Of Schools
The majority of Georgia's
voters favor local control over
educational decisions, and
most think more competition
for students will improve
public schools, according to a
recent poll sgonsored by the
Georgia üblic Policy
Foundation.
In the poll of 600 registered
voters, 76 percent preferred to
see most of the decisions about
education policy made by local
officials. Seventeen percent
supported state control and
five percent favored federal
control.
Sixty-six percent of the
voters said they believed more
competition by schools would
iml?rove the state’s public
school system, which they
believe has deteriorated in
terms of academic standards,
discipline and drug problems.
In addition, 59 percent said
they supported giving tax

The engineers presented
several ways to treat the color
and excluded several ways.
They recommended three
options:
(1) Add an orfianic polymer
to the mixed liquor at the
plant. -
(2) Add a polymer to the ef
fluent of the plant.
(3) Remove the color with
ozone for oxidation.
Accordinq to Paul
Tickerhoof, plant sgxé)erinten
dent, all three methods appear
to be cost-efficient.
