Show by Professional Development Inc — Education news from every state, every school day.
The funding-formula overhaul got its first legislative hearing on Monday, and it now has a price: about four hundred ten million dollars a year in new money, with roughly one hundred ninety million for special education, restricted student weights, a two-thousand-student funding floor, and no district-by-district table or bill sponsor yet. Plus the JROTC oversight proposal from the same hearing, tonight's Raleigh County closure votes, the election canvass timeline, and the still-missing Wirt County bond result.
