Project Pride serves Fall River. a city with a heavy property tax and a high school threatened with loss of accreditation because of its inadequate facilities. In this economically disadvantaged city. the need is urgent for effective and orderly educational progress. About half of Project Prides current $170.000 budget is devoted to an improved reading program. The other half is used for a program called English as a Second Language. directed toward young immigrant children of which there are many. The Presidential veto would mean a cut of 30 percent in the budget of some $170.000 for Project Pride. Project Contemporary Competitiveness serves Taunton.
