Public Education Legislative Action Alert – HB 278
The House Finance Committee is sponsoring a public hearing to discuss House Bill 278. “Education: Funding/Tax Credits/Programs”
Two minute public testimony is invited on Tuesday, March 18, 2014, beginning at 5:30 PM.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District:
- SUPPORTS the need to increase public school funding through the Base Student Allocation (BSA). A $268 increase would provide a balanced Fiscal Year 2015 budget.
- SUPPORTS the repeal and replacement of the High School Graduation Qualifying Exam (HSGQE)
- BELIEVES the current process for charter school approval and school district oversight works well. (KPBSD school choices)
