Eagle editorial: be wise on school funding

We agree with this editorial:

“Shortchanging or stiffing the districts could invite further review – and trouble – from the same three-judge panel that ruled last year that state funding was unconstitutionally low. In the worst-case scenario, the panel would enjoin districts’ use of the LOB mechanism, costing them $1 billion statewide. That would be a disaster for schools, but also bad politics in a re-election year.”
