Education Board seeks large increases in school funding
Kansas Board of Regents and state officials ask for about 70 million dollars to raise teachers salaries by 11 percent and provide 7 million for special education. Additional requests cover continuing education for teachers, 2.6 million for community college aid, preschool for handicapped children, instructional equipment, TV programs, and a summer high achieving youth program. They push a Regents Program for Excellence in Educational Research and Service and monitor a five year program review while debating contract rules with teachers.
