I've prepared the next set of questions which would have kept with the timeline I proposed in the last posting. I intend to propose and answer these next four questions successively in individual posts in the Budget Questions sidebar section.
1. What is KY's full state budget? How is that money appropriated?
2. Are there other subsidies that can be cut vs. the $46M for education? What makes other state investments more or less likely to be scheduled for cuts?
3. How do our representatives determine amount per person allotted for education in KY? Is there a difference in the value of an education in different portions of the state in relation to the average a county/district receieves per student?
4. Is the course of action our representatives have taken towards education desireable and comparable to what we expect? Does the way the system is currently run limit or direct the potential of those in the education system? Is it deliberate?
Supposing that these questions are legitimate, the answers to which should help us construct a more complete idea of how our legislators determined that cuts to education were a reasonable part of the solution to the immediate budget shortfall.
