President Joe Biden had some lofty education goals during his 2020 campaign. The president made promises that included increased education funding and reforms to higher education and student debt.

Some beleaguered school superintendents say the money will not be nearly enough to fix all the dry rot, leaky roofs and broken air conditioners in the state's thousands of school buildings. And it won't change a system that they say favors wealthy, urban, left-leaning areas that can easily pass local bond measures to make needed repairs.

The School Board has already made $4 million worth of budget cuts in the last five years to keep up with operational costs, according to Board Vice Chair Jeff Lindeman, who added he's not sure how to make up the difference without a change at the state level.
