   A few education notes:
     * The State official I contacted about the Transportation Sparsity
       Revenue calculation agreed that their handbook is indeed incorrect
       and will be corrected in the 2008-09 edition.
     * Apparently I fat-fingered the URL's earlier, so if you would like
       to view the [1]Financing Education in Minnesota 2007-08 handbook
       and many other documents, visit [2]www.house.mn/fiscal/fahome.htm.
     * The calculations are performed by the Minnesota Department of
       Education. They do provide a spreadsheet to help the districts
       estimate their revenue, but the State does the final calculation
       and pays accordingly.
