Larger school districts in Nebraska would get more money from the state than originally planned, under a proposal from a key lawmaker.

Sen. Greg Adams of York hopes his proposal will end the stalemate over school funding, which is jeopardizing the state budget. If the impasse is not broken, the state would have to give schools an additional $60 million at a time when state revenues are slowing.

Adams is chairman of the Education Committee. He presented his plan to the group on Wednesday. It could be considered by the full Legislature in the next couple of weeks.

Senators representing areas with larger schools, mostly in Omaha, blocked a school-funding plan earlier this month because they wanted more money for the districts.
