Supplemental Funds Approved for School Facilities Upgrades
The House Ways and Means Committee approved a 23 million surplus fund bill to aid public schools with facilities and safety upgrades next year. The plan raises per student facilities funds from 30 to 40 dollars, with potential for a further 10 dollar increase if revenues rise. The committee altered the bill by deleting 7 million for equipment and adding 6.5 million for the higher per student allocation while debating capital improvements and agency needs.
