Our Views on Kansas Education Funding and the Budget
Kansas faces a roughly 500 million gap between spending commitments and expected revenues. With over half the budget going to education, schools would suffer without new revenue. The State Board of Education argues for maintaining funding to meet a suitable standard for all children, not just a majority, amid programs for at risk students and early childhood education, while legislators balance the budget and funding promises. Bill Wagnon, Topeka, a State Board member and Washburn University professor, urges readers to contact their legislators to insist that suitable funding apply to all students.
