Senate budget writers would offer $87 million more to the UNC system than their N.C. House counterparts have proposed.
But K-12 and community colleges would take a bigger hit, according to new spending targets released Tuesday by Senate officials.
As Lynn Bonner and Craig Jarvis report in today's paper, the Senate would spend about $40 million less overall on education than the House would, while apportioning that spending in different ways.
K-12 education would receive $106 million less than the House's version, while community colleges would get about $21 million less.
