Statement by Gov. Beshear on Federal Education Funds
FRANKFORT, Ky.-- “We are pleased by the quick response to our application for $134.9 million to support education jobs. These funds will be distributed through our SEEK formula to support classrooms across our state, and they come at a time when many school districts are faced with stagnant local funds that are not keeping up with expenses. The funds are unexpected, and are one-time in nature, but will help school districts get through a tough year. I strongly encourage our schools to be prudent with these funds, as they will not be available next fiscal year.”
