Funding gaps seen in state education aid debate
Tompkins said he knew of no other studies quantifying state education spending. Attorney Alan Rupe pressed state and local officials on adequacy of aid while Kathy Taylor of Dodge City Middle School described budget limits limiting special services. Dodge City has 855 students with 65 percent eighth graders not proficient in math and 216 not proficient in English served by only three bilingual teachers. Larger districts like Wichita face bigger challenges, with 49,037 students and about 8000 needing special education, reflecting urban advantages and higher needs.
