Kansas Council urges 60 percent school aid by 1971
The Kansas Legislative Council recommended raising state aid to schools to 40 percent of operating costs for 1969-70, totaling about 135 million dollars, with a long term goal of 60 percent. The plan would shift funding from property taxes to state nonproperty taxes and requires major revenue increases. The report notes potential 1970-71 and 1971-72 cost rises and discusses budget control reform options for local boards.
