Uncertain fate for school bond bill in Kansas
In Topeka a House panel leader hinted no decision yet on a bill to end state aid for school bond issues. The proposal would cut equalization aid for bonds and block capital outlay aids, with potential savings of about 4.5 million for 2011 and 8 million annually from 2012. If enacted, districts with recent bond approvals could face higher taxes or faster debt issuance.
