AEL Update

"Updates on AEL Exemption and the Need for a Permanent Fix" - Next Gen'ers, here's the good and bad news. Jeremy shares his thoughts on the funding problem.

Hi Next Gen'ers,

Good News! The AEL is exempted, and we are in the clear for the remaining 4+ months this year.

Bad News: I was busy most of the day, so I didn't get another loophole out before they took the vote. Don't worry, we get to do this again next February. The other bad news is that we are still waiting for a permanent fix. Some people say that it's not a resource problem, it's a spending problem, and to that, I say...no, it's a math problem. If you want to cut 17% from School Districts when 85% of the school year is complete but you think it's ok to not cap Charters and ESAs in a similar manner...well, that just doesn't add up.

Enjoy the rest of the week, and here's to not talking about the AEL!
