Education funding debate raises first year cost over 170 million
A weight in three percentage points higher than the last formula adds 21.3 million to Kansas education funding this year. The plan targets at risk and other changes push the initial year above 170 million, with costs planned to rise by 150 million annually over four more years. Booker’s amendment removes a district local-spending restriction on at risk programs, while Aurand’s amendment sought to require skin in the game from local districts. Lawmakers say the ruling cites 26 percent reading and math underperformance, arguing for targeted use of funds. opponents warn of reduced flexibility for districts with high free lunch eligibility. The committee approved Booker’s motion 9-8, sending the measure toward a final vote.
