Kansas considers 65 percent classroom spending goal
Kansas lawmakers on an interim education panel reviewed the 65 percent classroom spending goal added to the 2005-06 school year budget. The policy defines instruction to include teacher salaries, supplies, and activities, while excluding administration, utilities, construction, and student support services. Kansas ranked 41st in 2002-03 with 59.2 percent classroom funding, behind New York and Maine. Rep. Kathe Decker said the rule could highlight overbuilt districts and reduce unnecessary administration.
