The Legislature and Governor’s Office may have agreed on the amount of money to put toward the state’s neediest schools but the real work is just beginning -- deciding which school construction projects will get approved and which of the districts deemed as being underserved will get priority. Despite a record amount of spending, most advocates say it’s not nearly enough to cover what's needed.
