The Senate Ways & Means Committee just adopted an amendment that removed the average daily attendance (ADA) requirement BUT then adopted the Governor's proposal to suspend the annual bus depreciation payments and pay districts in the final year.
As you may recall, this was considered a significant issue for most school districts, who were "losers" under the Governor's proposal.
In addition to the change, the amendment set up a larger cut than the savings estimated for ADA.
This will need some work.
