Rival to Brown's school bill gains Senate committee approval
In Sacramento AP the $2 billion rival to Gov. Brown's school finance bill passed the Senate Education Committee by a 10 to 0 vote moving to the Senate Finance Committee. Sen. Albert Rodda said Brown's plan is utopian while pledging amendments to aid low income students in big city districts and covering higher district costs for transportation heating or insurance. The two bills aim to narrow the rich poor district gap per Serrano decision and may be reconciled in a two house conference committee with endorsements from the Association of California School Administrators and support from State School Supt. Wilson Riles.
