New Kansas plan would shift 20 percent of foundation aid to local taxes
Lawmakers unveiled a starting framework for a revised K 12 funding formula. It would set foundation aid per pupil with 20 percent from local property taxes, add weights for bilingual and impoverished students, and allow local enhancement budgets and a local activities option. The plan also continues bond funding and a school choice tax credit, with stricter private school accreditation. Funding totals remain undetermined, prompting cautious optimism from school groups.
