Category

Subject
FY19 Budget Proposals
Type
Discussion, Information
Perhaps the educators should promote and encourage student walkouts and protests over the issue of lacking state funding on transportation costs. Perhaps invite and introduce students to the state representative and Senator who are elected by the Towns they live in and have the kids ask, where is the money? The school district could plan an open meeting with the kids and legislators and line up the elementary children to recite the pledge of allegiance to start things off.
Since school districts are already being short changed by the state legislature when it comes to transportation funding, what is there to lose? Simply talking about it has changed nothing, perhaps it is time for a different approach.
I believe everyone is up for re-election in 2018, state Representatives and state Senators.

Fiscal Year 2019 state budget proposal:
The governor’s budget would increase Chapter 70 education aid by 2.2 percent to $4.9 billion to ensure that every municipal and regional school district can reach the basic “foundation” level of spending and to continue to implement the “target share” equity provisions. The majority of districts would continue to receive the minimum increase of $20 per student.
School transportation
Gov. Baker’s budget submission would level-fund regional school student transportation reimbursements at $61.5 million, which would create a hardship for virtually all communities in regional districts. Reimbursements for transportation of out-of-district vocational students remains significantly underfunded at $242,000.
The governor’s budget would level-fund reimbursements for the transportation of homeless students under the federal McKinney-Vento law at $8.1 million. The impact of this funding level will vary from community to community, depending on the number of homeless families that remain sheltered in local hotels and motels.
