Description: The Governor proposes to consolidate $2 billion in funding for 22 existing categorical programs into revenue limits to provide schools and districts with greater funding flexibility. We recommend the Legislature transfer 17 programs into revenue limits, including 14 proposed by the Governor, plus two class size reduction programs and deferred maintenance. We propose redirecting the remaining programs in the Governor’s proposal into a professional development block grant, or a restructured Economic Impact Aid program. We also propose a separate block grant for school safety programs.
