Reform is needed but just how to do it is going to be left to later debates.
The Governor’s School Funding Reform Commission released a report that lists a number of things to consider when it comes to improving public grade schools, but the group calls it only a framework.
Commission member and Republican State Senator Jason Barickman says he’s comfortable with the fact that there aren’t a series of bills that are coming on the heals of the commission.
The report says the state does need to spend $3.5 billion over the next 10 years, so every school district can be at or above adequate funding.
