2009 House Bill 4447 ↩

House Roll Call 479: Failed

The House-Senate conference report for the FY 2009-2010 School Aid budget. This would appropriate $12.778 billion, compared to $13.378 billion, which was the FY 2008-2009 amount enrolled in 2008. This incorporates the spending caps agreed to by House Speaker Andy Dillon and Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop, which the conference met with a $218 cut in per pupil school aid (around 3 percent), and a 44 percent cut in Intermediate School District operations funding, but no cut in special education funding.
