Gov. Laura Kelly’s school funding plan is headed to the full Senate for consideration. Though the proposal is advancing, a coalition of Kansas school districts has pulled its support.
Schools for Fair Funding initially heralded the Democratic governor’s plan, to add $90 million a year to adjust school funding for inflation. The group now says, after further study, that isn’t enough and the annual funding boost should be $360 million after four years.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning says that’s too much.
