The Nation : Church School Aid Urged

Education Secretary William J. Bennett cautioned state school superintendents against scaling back all forms of aid to parochial schools based on the recent Supreme Court decision banning public school teachers from holding remedial classes in such schools. Bennett, in a letter to all 50 state school chiefs, said the ruling did not necessarily affect other federal aid, such as programs to help the disabled and bilingual education. He said he believes that state officials can continue to use block grant funds “for equipment and materials placed on private school premises.”
