Kansas Education Board to hear school finance proposal
Kansas education officials warn free and reduced lunch eligibility will raise costs in the current year. Deputy Education Commissioner Dale Dennis said $24.7 million is needed to prevent further state aid cuts, with base per student funding at $3,780 for 2011-12, down $232. If funds aren’t approved, districts face reserve account taps and potential $386 lower per student distribution if funds are redistributed. Brownback cautions against offsetting costs amid a soft economy and uncertain federal support.
