School Finance Plan Mixes FICA Funds With Education Bets
Lawmakers weigh moving about 24 million from a FICA dispute into the state general fund to bolster public school funding. Appropriations Chair Gene Suellentrop and Rep. Jerry Henry describe the plan as a broad education package intended to attract votes, with bonding for KU, Kansas State University, and other regents schools. The move comes as the Kansas Supreme Court mandates a plan to restore equalization aid, estimated at 129 million, with a three week legislative break ahead.
