School plan keeps local budget steady in Kansas districts
The 1992 93 per pupil spending level approved by the Kansas Legislature would allow the Lawrence school district to maintain current programs without raising the local mill levy. A statewide plan would set a 32 mill property tax levy and provide 3600 per pupil to each district, with Lawrence at 3615 this year and within 1 percent of next year’s target. The district could boost spending by about 1.052 million without more local taxes, aided by enrollment growth. maintaining services may require about 1.3 million for raises and new hires, though higher state aid for special education could offset part of the need.
