Gov. Sam Brownback’s plans to overhaul the distribution of state funding for schools may not be approved by Kansas legislators.

According to The Kansas City Star, Brownback hopes to redo the state’s funding formula in order to lessen the limitations on school boards and send funds straight into classrooms. Approximately half of the state’s tax revenue, over $3 billion dollars, is distributed among 286 school districts.

Brownback supports his plan by arguing that an overhaul would stop future litigation against the state, as a lawsuit over education funding is scheduled to go to trial Monday, June 4.

State legislators considered the process of rewriting the funding formula too much for their 90-day session, and plan to review Brownback’s proposal during the summer.

Senate education committee chairwoman Jean Schodorf told The Kansas City Star that a compromise would probably occur between Brownback and lawmakers to cut taxes in order to fund the spending increase on schools.

“All the balls are in the air, and school finance will be one of the last balls to hit,” Schodorf said. “The wild card is what the governor would do with it.”

The legislators will return from their spring break on Wednesday, April 25 to conclude yearly business.
