Kansas Legislative Action

Following is what the legislature agreed upon before dismissing during the early morning hours on Saturday…it is certainly much better than originally expected, although not as good as we had hoped.

The most recent estimate of the Legislature’s action is to fund a base budget per pupil for 2009-10 of $4,280, a reduction of $120 (2.8 percent) from the current year (after a $33 reduction from the published amount). This is based on elimination of $25.6 million in capital outlay state aid next year.

Schools will now begin making decisions on purchasing for the 2009-10 academic year. Niche, targeted marketing will be effective now.
