- Description:
- The document discusses the importance of continuing federal aid under the Lanham Act to Oklahoma schools in war-affected areas through the 1946-47 fiscal year. It provides data on school attendance, state appropriations, minimum program income, advalorem levy, and total revenue for Lanham Act aided schools compared to others. The document highlights the financial disadvantage faced by schools in war-affected areas and the need for continued support due to the dislocation of population and higher costs. It also mentions that this condition will persist through 1946-47 due to legislative timelines and property reassessment schedules.
