The Advocate - A KASB Podcast

Education Funding Task Force

Kansas Association of School Boards

The Kansas Legislature’s Education Funding Task force met throughout 2025 to discuss possible changes to the state’s constitutional school funding formula, which will expire in 2027. Join Leah and Shannon for an analysis of the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Task Force's deliberations, the outlook for 2026, and why school board members need to be prepared to advocate for all Kansas kids.

 

The Advocacy team is joined by special guest April Hilyard of the Butler County Special Ed Interlocal for a bonus discussion of how Kansas' special ed funding formula is in the mix as well.
