Senate Republicans unveiled a 65 million dollar funding rise for schools through higher liquor taxes and budget tweaks, while the House endorsed a 92 million dollar plan. The Senate would boost unrestricted district funds by 44.5 million and add support for special education and needy programs, funded partly by tax and refund policy changes. The House plan would uplift special education by 40.5 million but trims homeowner tax breaks, plus about 28.5 million for mentoring and at risk programs from existing resources. Debate follows Gov Sebelius's broader 304 million proposal rejected by lawmakers.
