AFT Resolution
FISCAL INDEPENDENCE FOR SCHOOL BOARDS
WHEREAS, properly educating the youth of the Nation is of paramount importance to local communities as well as the National Welfare; and
WHEREAS, automation and new job requirements demand better and more intensive educational programs than ever before offered; and
WHEREAS, financial needs for such programs must be provided at the local, state and federal levels without political involvements:
RESOLVED, that the AFT reaffirm its position for fiscally independent school boards; and
RESOLVED, that the AFL-CIO be requested to take a similar position so that human dignity and the national welfare can best be served by school boards that are fiscally independent and responsible.
