Benson to Decide on School Finance Formula
Kansas attorney general plans to show the 1975 Legislature's school finance revision to Judge Page Benson who ruled the current aid system illegal. The plan would fix inequities cited from 1973, and Governor Bennett will not veto the bill now sent to him. The measure increases state aid by 38.3 million dollars and raises property taxes about 12 million for K 12. A computer run will map aid for the 300 plus districts under the new plan.
