Education in Kansas. Seemingly the top of the agenda board for our state legislators is funding for our states education. Republican Senator Dan Goddard explains this week, they hope to pass a bill to help with that. Senate Bill #142 is a bill to aimed to supplement current state education funding. Something our legislative leaders are looking at and hope to pass this week as Senator Goddard explains he believes he expects both parties to agree on.  Goddards overview of the bill is a base state aid increase per student for the upcoming school years. Increasing it from 4,302 dollars per student to 4,436. Totalling an increase of about 90 million dollars in aid to schools in an attempt to satisfy the supreme court in school funding. Goddard says that both parties want proper school funding they just have different ideas on getting there. He says this supplement should be enough to satisfy both sides of the debate as it is a top priority in Governor Kelly's gameplan.
