Education board announces budget
Bv 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 1982 budget recommendations.
Connie Hubbell, board chairperson, who announced the three-part plan at a press conference yesterday, said the university's 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 $850.4 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.
Dale Dennis, assistant commissioner for finance and operations, said Outcomes-Based education determined how much money each school received based on its students' performances.
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.
Bill Musick, 6th District board member, said the board's budget recommendations for fiscal 1992 will be reviewed by Gov. Mike Hayden's office Sept. 15.

KU administrators urge vote on ROTC decision Kensan staff report
Kansan staff report
KU administrators will send a postcard to University Senate members this week. It will urge them to vote on a resolution that would prohibit students from applying ROTC credit toward the University's 124-hour minimum graduation requirement.
Members will vote on the resolution through mail-in ballot, said Del
Shankel, interim executive vice chancellor.
The resolution states that a Department of Defense policy excluding homosexuals from receiving scholarships and participating in commissioning ceremonies is inconsistent with university's antidiscrimination policy.
The postcard states that the Senate's decision on the resolution will be binding and urge all eligible members to vote, Shankel said.
The ballot and the postcard will be mailed separately to faculty members probably by tomorrow, Shankel said.
