Nearly every district in the state, including every single one of my school districts, has had to go to referendum in the past few years. Why? Because Since 2009, inflationary increases to per pupil funding were stopped. And today these revenue limits lag behind inflation by $3,380 per pupil per year. $3,380. This budget does nothing to address that gap. It offers $0.00. $0.00 increase to general school aids. (02:03–02:18)
