Introduced
by
The FY 2002-2003 executive recommendation for K-12 school aid, with $12.795 million in gross spending. The budget includes $494 million from a proposed change to July for the collection date for all of the six-mill state school tax, and approximately $1 billion in new and ongoing federal grants which would previously have been contained in the Department of Education budget. The budget increases the minimum per-pupil foundation grant from $6,500 to $6,700, and restores previously programmed spending on “categorical” line items such as school “readiness” programs, Intermediate School District funding, and adult education. It eliminates previously authorized funding of $45 million for a “Parental Involvement in Education” (PIE) program, in which social workers and other government employees attempt to educate new parents about the importance for young children of proper parenting techniques, and another $45 million for a summer remedial reading program for certain grammar school students.
