School Board chairman blasts Montana Governor Schweitzer over funding
| August 14, 2007 |  View for printing |
There was sharp criticism of the governor Monday night when the Bozeman School Board approved a $46 million budget that adds full-time kindergarten classes and covers employee pay raises, but doesn't have enough money to hire math specialists or replace retiring teachers at Bozeman High.
Board Chairman Carson Taylor said he's "extremely disappointed" in Gov. Brian Schweitzer and the 2007 Legislature for not providing Montana schools with enough money to make improvements, particularly in a year when the state had a $1.7 billion surplus.
