The election is near. The most important amendment on the ballot - TopicsExpress



          

The election is near. The most important amendment on the ballot is Amendment 4, which addresses unfunded mandates imposed on local boards of education. It requires a two-thirds vote in the Legislature to pass any measure that requires school boards to spend more than $50,000 in local funds without providing funds for the expense. It does not apply to laws involving compensation, benefits or due process rights. School boards and administrators support the amendment, and the voters should as well. Unfunded mandates are an unjust burden on school systems, and the two-thirds requirement will make them much harder to impose.
