More on the Senate budget proposal
The Senate's proposal increases Ch. 70 aid to school districts by $210.4 million. This is the largest increase in four years. In addition, they have made significant changes to the foundation formula (the way the money is allocated). These changes take into account special education, English language learners and low income backgrounds. In addition, there are long term plans to increase and sustain state aid to education.
Our Senator, Steve Panagiotakos, is on the conference committee and has made education a priority. We need our House Representatives (Kevin Murphy, Tom Golden and Dave Nangle) to talk to their colleagues who are on the conference committee and urge them to support the Senate proposal. We need to give a clear message of support, not just for the increased funding but for the revised formula as well.
