Kansas superintendents weigh five year school funding plan
Kansas superintendents welcome a proposed multi year funding plan that would add more than 750 million dollars by phasing in about 150 million annually but warn the commitment must be sustained amid a 1 billion budget shortfall for 2018 and 2019 and inflation risks. They favor tying aid to student body size and district needs while hoping for faster relief than five years.
