[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t find fault with the Youngkin administration for this, you are a partisan hack.  Period. [/quote]

Says the partisan hack.   :roll: 
Yes, the VA Education Dept. screwed up.  Mistakes happen.  They will find a solution.  In the meantime, funding for [u]this current year[/u] will not be affected.

The state appears to have unexpected sales tax revenues that it could use to make up the aid that localities expected but will not get. In a memorandum last month, state Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow said the state sales tax was expected to generate an additional $204.6 million this year and $175.3 million in the fiscal year that will begin on July 1. The higher revenues will be partly offset by reductions in the state’s share of school aid, resulting in a projected net gain of $90.5 million in this fiscal year and $77.5 million in the next one. [b]The net gain would more than offset the estimated loss of $58 million for school divisions this year, but not the $143.5 million less in aid next year.[/b]

“I don’t think there’s a solution at this point, but I think the right people are working on it,” said Perrigan, who also is an officer at the Virginia Association of School Superintendents and president of the Coalition of Small and Rural Schools in Virginia.

The article you cited literally says there is a shortfall due to the state’s error that has not been resolved. You are actually trying to argue that Youngkin’s administration did not make a mistake on the education funding piece?[/quote]

Are you able to read?  Because the very first thing I said was:  "Yes, the VA Education Dept. screwed up."  The article then details how this year's shortfall WILL be covered, and the last quote is saying he felt "the right people are working on it".  IOW, they will come up with a solution.  Maybe take a breath before responding next time?   :roll: [/quote]

DP here. Read it. That’s just fluff talk.

Let’s see how many rural counties lay off teachers next year. And sure- this year is done. As in this school year.

See how it works?
