“North
Country schools have gone to heroic lengths to provide a solid education to our
kids in the face of years of budget cuts. This year’s budget increases overall
state aid but unfortunately the funding formula does not address the specific
needs of several area school districts. I have been working with many
superintendents throughout the budget process and after further discussions
with them this morning I am resolved to continue to fight for more direct aid
to our region so our children can get the education they deserve.”
