State lawmaker seeks new at risk funding definition
Sen. John Vratil of Leawood urged a Senate panel to redefine at risk of failure. He proposes directing funds to students not meeting state math and reading standards rather than the share tied to poverty. Education officials warn against punishing high poverty schools and cutting after school tutoring for low income students. The state now spends over 111 million on poverty based funding, with a 400 million study suggesting more targeted aid for struggling students. Deputy Education Commissioner Dennis notes funds can serve all at risk students.
