Governor Brownback urged a $600 million annual school funding increase, beyond 2017 lawmakers’ $293 million phase in, to reach court‑stated educational outcomes. He aims for 95 percent graduation, 75 percent postsecondary transition, and expansion of Kansans Can, plus 150 new counselors yearly. He also proposed a constitutional amendment on school finance.

Brownback faces ambassadorship nomination and possible successor Lt. Gov. Colyer.
