School Officials Question Possible Future Costs
KENTUCKY....
Governor Steve Beshear has proposed a budget that would require local school districts to pick up the cost for one day of instruction next school year. Statewide, educators say the bill could be difficult for many districts with tight finances. The districts have already planned cutbacks in programs and have warned employees not to count on jobs next year because of budget uncertainties caused by the legislature's failure to approve a budget in its regular session earlier this year. School officials are hoping lawmakers can come up with a solution when the General Assembly attends a special called meeting set to begin Monday.
