On financing the improvements envisioned by the Hale-Aikin Committee Daniel said: "No one will hardly expect any state to be able to finance all of these improvements in any one year or any one biennium, but we should write the standards into law and then work each year to meet these goals at the earliest possible time." The governor agreed teachers need more money now but did not promise that funds would be available for a boost in the 56th Legislature which convenes in January.

Other recommendations adopted by the TSTA executive committee concerned giving "special attention to recommendations concerning foreign language teaching in the elementary schools and the enrichment of programs for the gifted child." It also recommended to the next Legislature that "sources of additional lax revenue" be utilized to "provide funds necessary to improve the public school program in keeping with the desires expressed by its citizenship and to expand other state services, including higher education, deserv- ving and requiring additional funds." On the question of changing the date of the annual TSTA convention from the Thanksgiving weekend, the executive committee advised members to wait and see what action the Legislature would take on the proposal to change the length of the public school year. In the meantime teachers were advised to sound out local school systems on the feasibiity of a statewide school holiday in October for the yearly convention.
