A public education subcommittee had prioritized nearly 80 bills with appropriations requests. But now that state revenue is $340 million lower than anticipated, lawmakers are drastically downsizing their expectations.

Senate Republicans are working off the same list but did not release their funding priorities Tuesday. Lawmakers have a week to nail down which programs will get funded.

The list House Republicans approved Tuesday includes:

* $15.8 million in one-time money to hire more art teachers for schools over several years.

* $2 million in one-time and ongoing money for Carson Smith Special Needs Scholarships.

* $5 million in ongoing money to pay math and science teachers another $5,000 a year and $8.9 million ongoing to pay math and science teachers to work extended year schedules.

Absent from the list are:

* $26 million for a K-3 class size reduction program.

* $28.7 million to help equalize property taxes used for school construction.

* Money to extend the school year for special educators, though the caucus voted to try to find money for the proposal elsewhere in the budget.

"Every year, there are disappointments," said Rep. Ron Bigelow, R-West Valley City, "and that's the way the process works."
