W.V. LAWMAKERS GET SCHOOL FUNDING PROPOSAL

State lawmakers got a primer on school funding proposals from the state Department of Education. The draft framework could add about 410-million-dollars in funding. Lawmakers pressed on whether the plan is affordable and whether results can be measured. State Superintendent Michele Blatt called the draft a starting point, and House Education Chairman Joe Statler says many more meetings will follow. Lawmakers will get another chance to change the plan once the regular session begins in January.
