Special ed funds to go out on time in Kansas
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius administration said it would release 81 million dollars in special education funds on time to local districts, despite budget concerns. Budget director Duane Goossen expected no delay and noted releasing this payment now avoids a negative end-of-fiscal-year balance. Schools must pay off special education costs before June 30, with Lawrence district receiving about 2 million. The general state aid of 213 million due in mid-June will be delayed to early July under a budget deal.
