The legislature considers three proposals to replace the expiring block grant funding for K-12 education. Rooker Kelly plan would raise per pupil funding and adjust at risk measures, Schwab plan shifts to a average cost per classroom, and ONeal plan would set annual appropriations with distribution decided by the Department of Education. Campbell indicated hearings on HB 2270 could begin soon.
