A Call to Reduce Restrictions on Categorical Funding.

Radigan, Winifred M.; Carmody, Helen

Clearing House, v61 n9 p389-93 May 1988

Argues that categorical funds should be available with few restrictions so that local education agencies can make decisions on how to add the funds to the tax-levy base. Claims that this type of funding could provide a variety of instructional programs to meet the needs of targeted students, without segregating them or contributing to their academic failure. (MM)
