The #KSLEG is attacking public education funding again and this time is looking to rewrite the formula for how school districts receive state funds for special education. With only a few days to review the bill, experts aren't able to give a comprehensive report on just how this will impact our schools, but they are sounding the alarm that this will reduce desperately needed state SPED funds in 2024 and beyond.

Happy New Year!

Today the KSleg gavels in at 2:00 pm for year two of the 2023-2024 biennial Legislative Session. Week one is historically pretty slow. However, every seat in the 125-member House and 40-member Senate is up for re-election in November. Since incumbents are not allowed to raise campaign funds until after the session ends, we expect the pace to be a little quicker this year so they can end on schedule.
