On the recordMay 8, 2003
Under the bill 80 percent of the funds are, under formula, to go to the local boards. This would bring that to 85 percent. I do think it gives the local boards more certainty over exactly the kind of funding that they should expect from year to year, would reduce the amount of dislocation or expectation as to what is coming in. I think he makes a valuable contribution, and we would be pleased to accept the amendment.
