Foundation Amendment Not Immediate TOPEKA
In Topeka the effort to amend the 1965 foundation finance law stalls with no decision expected before Thursday or possibly Monday. Senate Education Committee members debate the issue while awaiting Washington’s word on federal aid. Adel F Throckmorton notes a federal program near $1 million should not be jeopardized, and Throckmorton may contact Washington if no opinion arrives. Senators discuss relaxing session limits to allow limited foundation changes, focusing on budget appeals and penalties for districts overestimating enrollment. The House must first pass an apportionment bill before any amendment moves.
