Conflict Over State Aid Formulas for Kansas Schools
Kansas House members introduced two bills debating how to allocate state aid for public elementary and high schools. One bill favors per pupil aid, the other uses a small-school weighted formula. Both would raise total state aid by about eight million dollars, with proposals to boost emergency aid to 10.8 million. The clash centers on equity vs large-city needs and how funds should follow students rather than districts.
