Flu could prompt changes in school funding

Associated Press

FRANKFORT — School districts may not have to continue taking financial hits from high absenteeism caused by influenza outbreaks.

A proposal expected to be considered by lawmakers early next year would change the way Kentucky determines how much state money goes to local school districts.

That funding is based largely on average daily attendance. That would be modified slightly under the proposal by Republican state Sen. David Williams of Burkesville. Williams wants to base the funding on the average daily attendance rates from previous years.

Williams said doing that would allow local school officials to base decisions to cancel classes on what is best for the students, not finances.
