Lincoln County School Funding issues – in one simple graphic
The graphic distributed as Tuesday night’s school board meeting gives a very direct tally of what’s at stake with state support for K-12 education in Oregon. Governor Kitzhaber is hoping that the legislature will find a way toward some sort of PERS reform as well as limiting tax deductions for the state’s wealthiest tax payers to provide enhanced revenues for K-12 education. To whatever extent he is successful will determine where funding levels will be for the upcoming two year school funding period.
