Supporters tout simplicity and transparency while warning that the plan preserves current funding levels via a harmless baseline and redirects dollars to classrooms.
The plan, unveiled by Gov. Sam Brownback and Landon Fulmer, would raise Base State Aid per Pupil from 3780 to 4492 by simplifying weights, remove funding for special and vocational education from the formula, and set a Base Line per district tied to current General State Aid plus local efforts. It would shift 20 mills to a Property Tax Equalization Fund and create a Supplemental Equalization Fund, while phasing out capital outlay aid and bond support. Kindergarten would be counted as full time in Base Aid.
