Schools Take Another Funding Hit
Indiana schools will have to work with less money this year - approximately $52 million statewide. It's all part of an attempt by Indiana Gov.Mitch Daniels to balance the state's budget. By order of Daniels and Chuck Schalliol, state budget director, monthly payments to schools will be reduced starting in March to start meeting a cap on school spending that lawmakers included in the current two-year budget. Half of the reduction will be from March through the end of the fiscal year in June.The second half will come in July through the end of the calendar year.Daniels has proposed a freeze on basic funding for schools in the next two-year spending plan to help erase the state's deficit, and his plan would not make up the funding gap, according to an Associated Press story today. The reductions would be based on enrollment, so the lesser payment totals vary by district.
