Interview with Steve Cousins on the Fundamental Inequities of Public School Funding

This week we start the new year with a series of interviews investigating the fundamental inequities in public school funding. Our first guest is Steve Cousins, Superintendent of Reeths-Puffer Schools

Steve advises "Reeths-Puffer has a 35 and a half million dollar budget, if we were funded the same way as the top funded district in the state, we would have 23 million dollars more to spend on education."

Be sure to listen to the interview, as I'm sure you'll find it both interesting and insightful.
