Senate panel recommends deep cuts to K-12 and higher education
The Senate Ways and Means Committee advanced a bill slicing 128 million dollars from K-12 and 23 million from higher education this fiscal year to address a 310 million dollar shortfall. It would cut 5 percent from K-12 and 3 percent from higher education while preserving some funding through provisos and a block grant, with final passage pending House approval and the governor's signature.
