CO Senate Approves Budget

DENVER (AP) — Colorado's Senate has signed off on the state's $7.4 billion spending plan for next year.

Senators approved the budget by a vote of 30-5 Thursday morning. The budget has already passed the House, and disagreements between the chambers are minimal. That means Colorado seniors are all but certain to get property tax relief next year. And public schools could see their first year without additional state budget cuts after three years of cuts.

The budget includes a retooling of the governor's energy office, $3 million to increase tax incentives for film production, and the closure of a solitary confinement prison in southern Colorado.

Now budget writers from the House and Senate will have to rectify small differences between before sending the budget to the governor's desk.

Late Start Days Proposed for FMHS Next Year

KSIR-041912-Late Start Days Proposed for Ft. Morgan High School -FM




Ft. Mortgan High School is considering some late start days during the next school year. All classes would still be held on late start days, but would be shorter than usual. The plan calls for classes to state late every other Wednesday to allow teachers time to colloborate on topics including academic planning. School Principal Judy Florian is in favor of the idea because many teachers supervise extra-curricular activities at the end of the day, making them less available to participate. As the plan is outlined, Mustang Pride...counseling time available for students to consult with teachers... would be reduced, but instructional time would actually increase over the course of the year..
