Officials warn gloom over school funding in Kansas
Kansas districts face possible budget cuts as state revenues recover slowly. Officials estimate a $75 million gap to cover growing student numbers and assistance needs amid high unemployment. Kathy Cook of Kansas Families for Education warns districts may cut staff, programs or close schools if supplemental aid does not arrive to replace stimulus funds. Revenue gains from a 1 cent sales tax increase fall short of spending needs, projecting a $500 million gap in the 2012 budget. State leaders consider no tax hikes, unsure how to replace federal stimulus funds. Districts report 816 fewer certified staff this fall, including 653 fewer teachers.
