This is the proposal aggressively pushed by a governor who is billions of dollars behind the state's constitutional obligation to fund public schools equitably, who continues to use accounting tricks to cheat school districts out of millions of dollars
owed under the already inadequate funding in the state budget, who has restricted districts from increasing revenue locally
without a super-majority, and then has the nerve to
blame strangled school districts for not raising test scores.
Since I'm at least half to
blame for the existence of this thread (though not entirely as I would not have posted here
without Judy's persistence in asking me to post my analysis) I probably
owe the thread a summary of my perspective on the outcome up to this point.
