Budget delays threaten Kansas school funding
Hays Superintendent Fred Kaufman warns that Kansas state aid to districts is delayed, with about 98 million of 196 million dollars postponed to month’s end, and 75 million in special education payments possibly three weeks late. Districts faced late November aid, while January and February payments may also slip. State officials cite reserve funds as cushion, but some districts risk payroll gaps.
