Base schools hurting for funds
United Press International
W ASH INGTON — Three
Texas military base school
districts will be forced to close
within the next few months
unless the government pro
vides sufficient impact fund
ing, a Texas congressman
and school officials warned
Wednesday.
Rep. Abraham Kazen, D-
Texas, Texas officials and
representatives of three San
Antonio military base school
districts — Randolph, Fort
Sam Houston and Lackland
— met with officials of the
Department of Defense and
Education Department to
discuss the problem.
“We got assurances they
do not want to see the schools
closed,” Kazen said after the
two and a half hour meeting.
“But I’m not satisfied with
the results at this meeting. I
think we’ll have to wait and
see.”
Kazen and the school dis
tricts say the Department of
Education is not giving them
their 100 percent entitlement
of federal funds, is changing
the formula used to deter
mine how much the districts
receive. They also say their
situation is unique because
their districts are totally on
federal property so they can
not turn to taxpayers to make
up the difference.
The government for the
past 30 years has used a com
plicated system of funding to
help lessen the financial im
pact on school districts that
educate the children of pa
rents who live and-or work
on tax-exempt property.
“If something is not done
right away, the whole system
is going to fall in these three
districts,” Kazen said. “We
simply cannot allow these
schools to close.
“These districts have no
tax base, this is a federal re
sponsibility.”
Claude Hern Jr., Ran
dolph ISD superintendent,
saicl the district will be unable
to meet its June payroll un
less the government provides
$74,000 by then and “Lack-
land and Fort Sam are only
two or three months away.”
During the session
attended by about 24 people,
both sides heatedly accused
the other of playing games.
Education officials declined
to disclose their proposed
new funding formula, saying
it will be published by the end
of the week.
Assistant Education Sec
retary Lawrence Davenport
said Congress and court suits
have added so many variables
to the funding that the admi
nistration wants to equalize
the process through the new
formula.
“This is not a money
issue,” he said. “What we’re
trying to get is a process that
will provide better uniformi
ty and equity. We’re trying to
get an equitable situation.”
Kruger said the schools
were operating at higher per
pupil costs than the national
average of two years ago, but
the school district represen
tatives said their figures were
different in including
bonded indebtedness and
capital outlays.
Fort Sam official Thomas
Mosley said he met Tuesday
with Secretary of Defense
Casper Weinberger and
when told of the problem,
Weinberger turned to associ
ates and said “fix it.”
