<SynopsisText>     States the General Assembly's disapproval of the prorating of payments to school districts and the cutting of education funding. Recommends the abolishment of the proration of General State Aid dollars and urges the members of the General Assembly to pass legislation that would equitably spread any education funding reductions among school districts by evenly cutting dollars on a per-pupil basis or using another non-regressive approach.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
