If the answer is no, then what the heck are our elected officials doing? This year, Gov. Kehoe’s budget funds items such as school transportation and legislative mandates adopted in a big education bill last year. However, it shortchanges the foundation formula targets by $300 million. JCPS’ state funding from the “foundation formula” directly supports teachers in the district’s budget. So, underfunding those targets, as Kehoe proposes, could result in losing several million dollars to local schools, which will hurt the ability to attract and retain good teachers with competitive wages.
Apparently, the days when everyone agreed that investing in the education of our children, all of them, not just the children of wealthy parents, are over. Greed seems to make us terribly short-sighted.
🐦🔥Fortunately we do have good people on our local school board, including two whose seats are up for reelection but have no opponents in April’s local election.
