Senator proposes funds for Brownback school plan
Senate aide Sen Steve Abrams of Arkansas City urges adding 41.8 million to Gov Brownbacks school finance overhaul. Abrams would base at risk aid on district student counts with scores below proficient, noting many districts including Lawrence would see no funding under the current plan. The proposal surfaced at a Senate Education Committee meeting as lawmakers debate 2013-14 funding and tax limits while critics warn of widened gaps.
