School districts weigh funding plans in state reform debate
Brownfield superintendent Don Hendley says BCISD could gain about 800000 in state funds under either the new legislation or the Kilgarlin master's plan. Wellman’s Raymond Lusk predicts little effect unless the master's plan is used, Meadow’s Jimmy Thomas expects greater gains long term from the master's plan, and Union’s Charles Clark was unavailable for comment. A June 25 hearing before Judge Scott McCown could decide whether the Robin Hood style reallocation will be adopted or if the legislative plan will be used.
