A review is presented of the assistance program from 1946 to 1965 for local school districts in Mississippi. School district program needs were determined by a citizen's council, a legislature study committee, an educational finance committee and a legislative report in public education. These groups examined existing school plant facilities and made recommendations in terms of projections of future needs. A table of allocations to school districts and a table of annual allocations are included in the report. A summary presents site specifications, facilities included, the reduction of the number of school districts, school population growth, and school construction costs. (FS)
