Groups Want School Funding Waiver Rule Put Back In Place

Education groups are asking the General Assembly to require waivers from counties that fall below maintenance-of-effort funding levels.

The maintenance-of-effort rule mandates that county governments spend no less per student than in the prior year. If they don't comply, they face penalties reducing annual increases in state aid. Counties facing fiscal challenges used to be required to apply for a waiver with the state Board of Education.

I don't think we should get a waiver, the community decided for a rev cap, and now the community must deal with the consequences.

I am sure you do not own land and pay property taxes then, well if you do, you are wealthy enough to afford it. why dont you sign up for the increase taxes first.!!

you do not get to dictate what i should pay for the community. i paid my taxes for years and have no children in this county schools or any. YOU pay first, then i MAY consider, but do not count on it.

SCHOOL VOUCHERS NOW it is the only way for us to regain finicial control over this mees and weed out the waste..like overbloated BOE budgets that spend to much on high salaries overhead..If private schools can provide a better education with crappy facilties and overhead so can public schools, It is the Layers of buracracy that eats up most of the funding
