He wanted to go along with an
earlier proposal limiting the $100
credit not to exceed 20 per cent
of a district's local fund assign-
ment.
Texarkana Supt. Henry Stil-

orously opposed such a limitation.
He said the 54 districts whose
local fund assignment would be

AUSTIN, Dec. 21 IP — A com-
promise plan to give Texas school
teachers a $402 a year boost clear-
ed its first big hurdle yesterday.
A subcommitte which has
sought since early October to rec-
oncile views of Gov. Shivers and
the Texas States Teachers Assn,
unanimously recommended the
proposal to the full committee of
25.
The next test comes Jan. 13,
awhen the committee meets to de-
"termine whether it should pass
the recommendation to the gov-
ernor and the TSTA.
Unofficial acceptance by the
teacher group was indicated when
the TSTA house of delegates en-
dorsed the proposition in its pre-
liminary stage last month.
Shivers has said he would con-
sider calling a special Legislature

if a reasonable plan were sub-
mitted.
The plan involves two basic
changes in school financing:
It would make the state and
school districts share costs of the
Minimum Foundation program on
an 80-20 basis. The districts’ con-
tributions now total a fixed 45
million dollars a year, and the
state absorbs the steadily increas-
ing cost of the program.
The state would share indirect-
ly in local school building costs,
something it does not now do..
The state would allow a credit of ]
$100 per teacher against the dis-
trict’s local fund assignment. The
credit could not exceed the a-
mount of the assignment.
