Kansas budget plan reshapes school funding statewide

Kansas lawmakers propose a new funding formula for 2015-2017 that shifts away from per pupil funding and uses an extraordinary need fund. Total state aid would total about 3.49 billion for 2015 and 3.55 billion in 2016. Lawrence district would see about 66.6 million this year and 70.3 million next year, with most increases tied to KPERS contributions and the virtual school. The change aims to curb equalization aid with a focus on controllable costs and enrollment growth would no longer automatically raise funds.
