VIDEO: Wright County's Sen. Amy Koch Discusses on Education Funding
The Senate Majority Leader was asked last weekend about education funding and Senate Republicans' move to limit so-called "integration funds" for school districts.
District 19 Sen. Amy Koch (R-Buffalo), the Senate Majority Leader, is asked in this week's UpTake Video if cutting Local Government Aid and school integration funding is unfairly attacking the state's cities.
Koch replies that integration funding goes to all of the state's school districts.
Pressed on the issue, she says she doesn't know the percent of a student body that is eligible for the integration funding in each district. If the percentages are not the same statewide, then the cuts wold be unequal. She says that she is "keeping an eye" on the issue.
