While we sort through the details of the block grant proposal for funding our schools, we’d like to share a post from our friends at Mainstream outlining the current formula and how it works. We note that the block grant is being proposed as a temporary measure while the legislature works out a new formula, and we believe efforts to “reform” the formula are really efforts to create new funding system based on what Kansas can afford based on little or no income tax rather than what Kansas children need. Is that what you want for your children? If not, make sure your legislators are hearing from you. http://www.mainstreamcoalition.org/why_the_formula_works
