Senate panel approves $112M school finance boost
The Senate Education Committee voted to advance Senate Bill 450 proposing a $112 million, two year increase in funding for public schools. Half adds $37 per pupil in base state aid for two years, raising from 3780 to 3817 and then to 3854, while the rest helps equalize aid for poorer districts. The plan draws GOP and Democratic support but faced county opposition over a proposed local tax rise. Funding would come from the projected $390 million ending balance. the measure moves to the full Senate.
