From the Helena Independent Record: "Gov. Brian Schweitzer on Monday called a special session of the state Legislature to begin Dec. 14, telling lawmakers they will be called back to Helena to fix the school funding and the state pension problems.
"Schweitzer outlined a plan few had heard about before Monday to permanently increase school funding by about $30 million a year. He also called for putting about $33 million in one-time money next school year into school buildings, Indian Education for All and energy cost relief for schools."
The Governor's announcement is available on the state website. The new school funding proposal has also been posted as an Excel file.
