State Aid For Schools Passes
KENTUCKY....
The Kentucky Senate voted 34-0 Monday to inoculate school districts from a potential cut in state aid due to high absenteeism caused by the swine flu outbreak. The measure would allow school districts to choose their highest student attendance averages from the past three years to help determine how much state aid flows to each district. The measure is supported by the Kentucky School Boards Association which says, without it, some districts could be penalized with a reduction in state aid for keeping schools open during unusually high student absences.
