YCT Nay. Amendment 16 to HB 5 would tie performance ratings to whether or not a school has been given “sufficient funds.” Public education does not have a funding problem – it has a structural problem. Tying performance ratings to whether or not a school has met an arbitrary claim about “sufficient funds” simply gives schools a scapegoat for a much deeper problem.
