In a report released today by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Kansas ranks 4th worst in the country in depth of cuts to school funding since the start of the recession.

“Good schools and an educated workforce foster economic growth, and we are shooting ourselves in the foot by reducing our investment in our schools and students,” said Annie McKay, Executive Director of the Kansas Center for Economic Growth. “These cuts have undermined our ability to educate Kansas’ children and there will be consequences for Kansas’ economy.” http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=4011
