A blog post by Mark Tallman of KASB

“If provided an additional $600 million in funding over three years, school district leaders say they would spend $255 million to enhance programs for at-risk students, increase the graduation rate and help students better prepare to succeed after high school – all of which would address the Kansas Supreme Court’s concern about underperforming students. There would also be $90 million available to increase teacher salaries that have fallen behind several neighboring states. It is important to realize that it will cost the remainder — or $255 million over three years — to simply keep up with increasing costs and wages due to inflation at current annual rates.”
