Legislature Finalizes K-12 Budget, Heads to Veto Session
Apr 01, 2025 Season 2025 Episode 9
Kansas Association of School Boards

Leah and Shannon discuss what the legislature accomplished before its first adjournment. The K-12 budget plan was finalized with only $10 million in additional SPED money for 2026, though it will only look like $7.5 million. The two talk about what this means, as well as what programs were cut going forward. They also look at tax plans and a bill that would allow the attorney general to step into local board of education decisions.
