Idaho Senate eyes school funding formula delay
A Senate Health Education and Welfare Committee in Boise postponed action on a new school funding formula. Sen. John Barker noted a plan to distribute about 75 percent of collected funds to students but warned local tax increases may be needed to cover the rest. The proposal uses 20 percent property and 28 percent utility tax bases, with potential pressure if utility taxes drop to 20 percent due to a Supreme Court ruling. Hawaii and California precedents complicate the funding approach.
