Burmaster: Statutes require DPI use last year's K-12 numbers
State DPI Superintendent Libby Burmaster said today in a letter to Sen. Robson that state statute requires her to use the "most accurate data available" to certify general equalization aid figures. And, for now, the most accurate numbers are those that were set by the state in last year's budget.
"While I wish this was not the case, these aid amounts constitute the most accurate information available to the Department at this time," Burmaster said in a letter to Robson.
