We have a new governor, Nathan Deal, the lessor of 2 evils. In a recent speech, he laid out the budget saying "no more unpaid furloughs or school-day cuts for Georgia public schools."
While there is more money than last year, there is less than several years ago and, once again (as they have for the past 10 years) the state is not giving the districts what they have to by law.
"The budget Deal is recommending to legislators would send $30 million extra to cash-strapped school districts. That's $60.9 million less than they are owed under the Quality Basic Education Act, the state’s enrollment-based school funding formula, but more than they've gotten in recent years."
He is assuming the districts saved some of the federal stimulus money they received last year.
You know they didn't.
It's gonna be a hard candy Christmas.
