Senate slows vote on Kansas school funding plan
Senate leaders expect no vote before the deadline as the education proposal from Governor Sam Brownback faces questions and possible amendments. Chair Jean Schodorf says the plan could be kept alive with an exception while discussing alternatives. Abrams proposals for at risk funding and county sales tax sharing were not voted on. The panel may also consider a Democratic plan of $45 million funded by revenue growth.
