More About School Aid And Its Budget Impacts
Education officials say the provision in the formula bill would cut penalties by about 24 to 26 million dollars. The bill would raise education funding for unit and elementary districts and require layoffs to remove the least experienced teachers first. No district would receive less this year than last due to formula changes. The general assembly put 22 million into major school aid to cover affected districts as the large appropriation awaits action by Walker. Earlier, a 869.8 million measure was cut by 35 million, mainly affecting grants for special education and related programs.
