Hold harmless rule lowers Junction Citys state aid loss
Junction City school district will lose only 3045 in state aid for 1996 97 not 1.43 million as first calculated due to a hold harmless provision allowing districts affected by Fort Riley downsizing to retain 90 of their weighted enrollment funding.

Manhattan loses or gains under the revised calculations with 87924 preserved, and the provision applies only to 1996 97.
