$5.6 Million from School Facilities

| Post by Susan Perkins Weston |

The School Facilities Construction Commission is another portion of how Kentucky funds P-12 education. According to the Commission's website,

The School Facilities Construction Commission provides an equitable distribution of state funding for school construction and technology based on the unmet needs of Kentucky’s 173 school districts.

$134.9 million from the general fund was appropriated for the SFCC in the FY 2018 enacted budget.

$129.3 million from the general fund will go to the SFCC under the current edition of a new budget bill reflecting Governor Bevin's recommendations for fiscal 2019.

That $5.6 million cut to SFCC needs to be included in thinking about the overall reductions being proposed to P-12 public education.
