Update on the evening of Thursday, March 21st. The House K-12 Education Budget Committee met and promptly voted down the governor’s plan, which had already passed the Senate. They then voted to pass two bad bills. One essentially has much of the policy from HB 2395, and the other has their funding plan, which only includes two years of funding and omits the CPI adjustment moving forward. As Rep. Dietrich explained in moving to pass the second bill out (and we’re paraphrasing), the committee is stacked and they don’t have the votes to fix the bills so they needed to just get the bills out of committee and onto the House floor. 

Stay vigilant Kansas.
