Education measure goes to governor

Posted

A bill that provides $180 million dollars in new K-12 education funding is on its way to the governor’s desk.

The Student Success Act puts $20 million toward third-grade reading programs and provides a uniform transparency system that allows the public to see how the new dollars are being spent.

The bill also backfills $110 million in education funding cuts that occurred during lean budget years.

The bill passed both legislative chambers with large bipartisan support, most recently in the House on April 30.
