Kansas Faces Recurrent School Aid Financing Issues
Gov. Robert F. Bennett and the Kansas Legislature confront a familiar school finance problem next fiscal year. State Budget Director James Bibb recommends 248.71 million dollars in state aid for local units for 1977, up from 241.49 million this year. Education official Dale Dennis notes only about a 3 million increase in general state aid, with potential statewide impact of 32.5 million if districts raise budgets 5 percent. The department originally sought 265.24 million but adjustments reflect lower tax assessment ratios, reduced funding needs, and appeals include restoring 5.5 trimmed positions. Budget hearings covered requests from the state treasurer, Corporation Commission, and Park and Resources Authority.
