school aid

What's ahead for Kansas school funding? The Kansas Supreme Court has threatened to shut down schools if lawmakers can't come up with a funding method that's constitutional. Many are now wondering how lawmakers will respond. One idea? Shifting money around, from wealthier districts to poorer districts.

Three dozen Kansas school districts are requesting additional money from the state to meet budgetary needs. But the requested money far outstrips funds available. Next week, the governor and legislative leaders will meet to decide which schools will receive more money and, how much.

Three Kansas school districts will be getting additional financial aid to contend with a drop in state education funding.
