<p>I see three in the west that I know of</p>
<p>Montana Gov. has proposed a small increase in educational funding
Wyoming is looking at a surplus and increasing spending
Oregon Gov. has proposed a small increase as well.</p>
<p>It looks like the legislatures are meeting on these budgets and they could be changed to cuts so we will have to wait and see what happens.</p>
<p>Anyone else seeing a budget increase in Education</p>
<p>Don’t bet a lot on Oregon’s increase. We hit 9% unemployment.</p>
<p>Pennsylvania doesn’t propose a budget until the beginning of February. In general, it’s a very challenging environment; only the things that are most strongly supported will be proposed to get funding at the same level as this year. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if they find some way to propose some kind of increase for education funding at the K-12 level. And the House proposed stimulus bill has significant funding for education.</p>
<p>Connecticut has as state law that limits tuition increases to 15% annually. The head of the largest state university has requested that this cap be eliminated. Says he needs a 32.5% increase to fill the hole created by reduced state support. Hmmm.</p>
