Public Schools To Receive Budget Cut
KENTUCKY....
Public schools across Kentucky are receiving more financial bad news from the state. The Kentucky Department of Education says an unexpected funding shortfall means $50 million needs to be cut from the basic operating budget for the state's public schools for the months of April, May and June. Officials are blaming the shortage on unanticipated growth in student enrollment statewide as well as other surprise expenses. Kentucky Education Commissioner Terry Holliday is urging local school districts to make up the loss with federal funds they recently received under the federal "EduJobs" program.
