Phil Fortunato on Education

 

 


Let local schools get waivers from unfunded state mandates

There are nearly 1,500 unfunded mandates from the state to our local schools. Those cost money in administrative overhead. I am proposing a policy that will keep more money in classrooms by allowing districts to obtain waivers from these costly policies that don't directly contribute to the education of the student in the classroom. If we can reduce the costs of these mandates by just 5%, that is over $1.3 billion more for education without imposing more taxes.
