NM Law Panel Scrutinizes School District Consolidation
Senate and House Finance committees press Interim School Study Committee head Aubrey Dunn on proposed district consolidation and funding disparities. Rep. Mershon cites a $321 per pupil gap between Causey and Albuquerque. Dunn argues small districts need larger per pupil payments for a basic program. An amendment to block forced consolidations gains support, while funding plans and equalization debates continue. The bill targets a $142.7 million state education appropriation next year, with Runnels preparing an alternate financing plan.
