Public education leaders say two bills that state legislators are considering could harm the state’s school funding at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is already punching holes in school districts’ budgets. One of the bills is a tax reform plan that could lower the state’s revenue by more than a billion dollars over three years, according to the Associated Press. The other one would greatly expand a program that provides tax breaks to organizations that sponsor scholarships for private schools. At a recent Lawrence school board meeting, local education leaders Shannon Kimball and Ann Mah said that if these bills became law, they would give legislators ways to justify cutting school funding.
