Budgets may be tight for schools Officials plan for possible issues By AMBER DILLEYGlasgow Daily Times The SEEK money is a formula-driven allocation of state-provided funds to local school districts. Any cuts to the money from the state would have a significant impact on area school districts.
Recently, Gov. Steve Beshear has asked for a possible four percent cut to the state’s public universities and community and technical colleges. The cut would total about $41 million. There was no suggestion of cuts in SEEK money, which escaped a round of cuts during the 2008 General Assembly. Dick said the state’s decisions, the economy and its effect on school districts isn’t something anyone can predict. “I don’t know how it’s going to play out,” he said. “It’s a scary time, not just in education, but for everyone. The economy is in bad shape and it’s not going to rebound overnight. We have to be really careful about how we spend our money now.”
