Luna’s new reform plan replaces earlier budget, smaller drop per support unit

JFAC Co-Chair Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, noted that the proposed budget that state Supt. of Schools Tom Luna submitted to lawmakers earlier essentially is now "obsolete," and has been replaced by his reform plan. Luna said that's correct. He distributed a new summary of the distribution factor in his proposed public schools budget showing that, under his plan, state discretionary dollars per support unit next year would drop by 1.4 percent, which is a much smaller decrease that was proposed under his original budget plan from the fall or under the governor's budget proposal.
