This quote from Bullock is really scary.
Some of the plans proposed would have increased what school districts can raise through local property taxes, or their local option budgets. Bullock said local option budgets aren't constitutional and "by their nature are more available to wealthy districts both politically and in the revenues generated."
Pure socialism.
Here is a somewhat encouraging statement from the King, though.
Bullock suggested the Legislature take up a so-called "school-based budgeting" provision, which requires school districts to submit proposals to the Legislature for what it costs to educate children in their districts. Under the current system, the Legislature determines the cost of educating children and then appropriates funds.
The problem is, school administrators fight this tooth and nail. Sen. Bill Bunten has been working to get this implemented, and the school administrators and a few left-wing legislators won't allow it. They don't want people to know how the money is being spent in their districts.
