Governor Brownback Budget Proposals Highlight Education and Corrections
The governor's budget for FY 2015 adds modest increases while preserving adjustments from the prior two-year plan. It maintains K-12 funding at 3,853 per pupil, supports about half of last year's university salary cuts, and adds 10.9 million for higher education though still short of last year's 33 million cut. For FY 2016, 429.8 million would be added, with 362.9 million routed to Corrections. It also proposes 20 million for K-12 per pupil level and 16.3 million for the Career and Technical Education Initiative, plus 16.3 million for all-day kindergarten but no funding plan. The Democratic response contrasts job figures and tax concerns, underscoring a partisan debate ahead of November.
