The state wants to transfer responsibility of 25% of Teacher Pension funds to Kent County. If this were to go through, it could have consequences on other organizations that get funding from Kent County. If funding has to be shifted to cover teacher pension Kent County might have to pull funding from other outside agencies. They currently fund agencies like Kent Center, Public Shore Aging, and the Humane Society. It also funds local arts. All of these could potentially lose money if the state pushes for the county to help with the teacher pensions.
