Senate plan would fund Kansas schools with tax supported scheme
The Senate advanced a school finance proposal for elementary and secondary education, proposing a 35 mill statewide property tax and $3,600 per pupil base, with districts allowed up to 25 percent budget increases funded by property tax hikes. It would cost $329.2 million in state money and aim to deliver about $300 million in property tax relief, funded by sales tax and income tax changes. The plan also reallocates state funds and uses hospital payment back funds, with changes to KPERS governance and a pension board expansion. The House and Senate voted on overrides of vetoes amid a broader tax and budget push.
