Thread: When everyone celebrated the $500 million “increase” for #NVed K-12, we started crunching numbers. When the budget bill showed discrepancies we started to investigate. In the end, we have concerns over the proposed per-pupil funding outcomes. 1/4
It’s important to clearly communicate funding details and help manage expectations. So far it seems the $500 million is mostly a RESTORATION of cuts which is important, but people need to know schools are NOT receiving a “huge” increase in funding. So we have questions: 2/4
Q1: Do all the budget items that make up the Total Public Support in the K-12 funding bill match the budget items in the 2019 funding bill? If so, why is there a decrease in funding? If not, why is the bill language identical? 3/4
Q2: Will there be an overall increase or a decrease in per pupil funding from 2019/20?
Q3: Can the state’s federal dollars play a role in the short term?
Q4: What is the long-term plan to reach recommended funding levels?
There are 5 days left in the 81st #nvleg session. 4/4
