Funding clash over foundation aid and special education
House members pressed for a high foundation aid guarantee while Senate members sought more funds for special education. The tentative plan boosts foundation aid by 15 per child, from 275 to 240 next year, and raises funding for moving special education classes by 1.00 to 36,000. It would also start 240 new special education classes with 2.4 million dollars. Despite progress, bickering continued over several provisions as the proposal faced the full legislature. The bill would boost common schools by 45 million next year, with 32 million for raises of 800 dollars for over 30,000 teachers and eight percent raises for other staff.
