School finance formula eyed to aid area districts
State Board of Education tests a new formula to determine eligibility for state aid on bonds for new school facilities. Tax credits for low income students' scholarships would grow but private schools hosting those students must be state accredited and meet achievement standards. Campbell cites sources including an old formula and a 2006 Legislative Post Audit as starting points for discussion. Dietrich calls it a beginning to the discussion.
