Senate revises school finance bill to win House approval
Senate leaders plan to recall the 634 million school finance bill and adopt amendments to ease local tax impacts. The changes shift 36.3 million of costs to the state, end bilingual education funding at grade three, and bar teachers from summer unemployment benefits. If Senate passes these edits, the House may avoid a conference committee and approve the measure.
