Kansas lawmakers consider a third foundation aid plan from Sen. Ross Doyen proposing a $400 million total cost for K 12 education with 50 percent state funding 30 percent via statewide property tax and 20 percent from local income taxes. The plan would let districts maintain current local budgets plus a cost of living increase while a state funded utilities tax would bolster the equalization fund. Doyen first outlined the idea last fall and is seeking feedback from colleagues.
