| | Position: | Support
| | Category: | Legislative Goal
| | Comments: | This bill authorizes the state Board of Education to implement a pilot program to address high dropout rates in four school systems.

| | Position: | Support
| | Priority: | High
| | Category: | Priority Goal
| | Comments: | This bill would increase the percentage of lottery funds going to counties for school capital needs from 40 percent to 90 percent by eliminating the 50 percent share that is designated for class size reductions. This would more than double the amount of lottery proceeds that counties receive. |

| Bill: | SB724
| | Sponsors: | Stein (D16); Tillman (R29) | | Title: | AN ACT TO IMPROVE PUBLIC EDUCATION | | Status: | 05/12/2011 – House Committee On Education
| | Comments: | This bill would make several changes to the state's public school system that could have a financial impact on counties. It identifies lengthening the school year to 190 days for all students as a goal of the General Assembly - "funds permitting." It also directs the State Board of Education to study the academic requirements to graduate from high school for students who do not intend to pursue a college education and suggests that those students might need an additional year of school to prepare them for life after high school. |
