"Albuquerque Public Schools officials are hoping the state Senate will hear them out as the district tries to get direct money from the state.They're asking that all education dollars be given directly to districts opposed to using some of it to fund certain education programs. Some are criticizing the governor for pushing money into those programs.\"For the first time in years the money is there, but they're not putting it in the formula like they\u2019re supposed to so every school is funded equally\" said Ellen Bernstein, the president of the APS teacher\u2019s union.The governor's office said of the $101 million in increases it has recommended; only $30 million would go into special projects. The governor also said funding has generally gone straight to the district and there's been little to no improvement in student achievement."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
