KASB Shocks Officials By Reversing Finance Plan
The Kansas Association for School Boards voted 95 to 76 to call for more study of tax bases and to compare a study with the current property tax based plan. They also urged state aid funding of 150 million while the study proceeds, reversing a prior stance. The move risks a split in support and may reduce Lawrence district funding by about 1 million for 1969 70.
