Education board announces budget
By Carol Krekeler
Kansan staff writer
In the same week that a group of 31 Kansas school districts filed a class action lawsuit challenging the state's method of financing public education, the board of Education has put together its fiscal 922 budget recommendations.
Connie Hubbell, board chairperson, who announced the three-part plan at a press conference yesterday, said that "Kansas is quality education to Kansas students."
The plan includes increased financing for individual districts, programs designed to improve student achievement and adult education programs.
The biggest increase was an additional $106.2 million for state aid programs, including $88.2 million for
School Equalization Aid. State aid programs received $858.4 million for fiscal 1991
School Equalization Aid was intended to assist poorer school districts by giving them more state financial aid.
The system sought to award more state aid to poorer districts, while sending less aid to wealthier areas.
In past years, the state has used a school finance formula that accounts for factors such as enrollment and graduation determining how aid was distributed.
However, in 1990 the Legislature decided to base state aid to school districts on how much money the districts received the year before, without regard to changes in district wealth.
The board also is recommending a $4.7 million increase in money for Outcomes-Based education, which received $4.3 million for fiscal 1991.
In the area of Lifelong Learning and Training/Retraining Work Force, or adult education, the board is recommending $12.76 million more than the $70.8 million the programs received for fiscal 1991.
Dale Dennis, assistant commissioner for finance and operations, said Outcomes-Based education determined how much money each school received based on its students' performances.
Bill Musick, 6th District board member, said the board's budget recommendations for fiscal 1992 were based on Gov. Mike Hayden's office se5.17
