2009 House Bill 4447 ↩

Senate Roll Call 526: Passed

The FY 2009-2010 School Aid budget. This would appropriate $12.887 billion, compared to $13.378 billion enrolled in 2008 (and $110 million more than the first conference). Following intense lobbying by school employee unions the per pupil school aid cut is reduced from $218 to $165, and the 44 percent cut in Intermediate School District operations funding will be 20 percent instead. The bill also requires school districts to post on the internet the pay and benefits of all employees whose annual salary exceeds $100,000.
