Introduced
by
The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2009-2010 school aid budget. This would appropriate $12.963 billion, compared to $13.378 billion, which was the FY 2008-2009 amount enrolled in 2008. It "pencils in" a $59 per pupil decrease in annual foundation grants to schools, but there is an expectation that federal "stimulus" money will be used to keep this spending item contant.
