A change in Driver Educatiwi will place new responsibiUties on schools. Constuner Eiducation must be taught to all students in junior high and fai^ school.
Schools that have been faced with insufficieirt fmances have been forc¬ ed to have larger classes. Reduc¬ tion and elimination of classes and prograons have been a last resort for the district. Positions have also been eliminated for auxiliary per¬ sonnel. In some circumstances class¬ rooms were with out teachers be¬ cause the district was in such a poor position it cotild not attract suffi¬ cient teacher candidates. Some dis¬ tricts found it necessary to close sdKwls.
