School bond bill blocked by House panel in Topeka
In Topeka the House Education Budget Committee blocked progress on a bill cutting state aid for school district bond issues. Chair Rep. Joe McLeland said the panel would not continue work this session, though the measure could reappear later or be attached to another bill. The proposal would end state equalization aid for new bonds and capital outlay resolutions, affecting districts like Garden City. Local officials oppose it as a threat to financed school construction and renovations.
