Legislative Update

Picture
We still do not have a school funding plan from the state legislature. The Senate passed a reasonable education plan to keep in place the current funding formula and provide the necessary inflation funding for our schools. The House barely passed its own education plan, which contains policy provisions opposed by PTA including eliminating a commitment to fund special education and limits on instruction for English Language Learners. A Conference Committee has been appointed to negotiate the final details between House and Senate. The good news is that Trailwood's four legislators have supported the PTA position every step of the way so far. Please thank them!

In the News:
  • As Republicans, we know this tax plan would move Kansas backward (Opinion Piece by Trailwood legislators Rep. Jan Kessinger and Sen. John Skubal)
  • Kansas Gov. Kelly and House GOP clash on school funding as deadline approaches
  • Time's Nearly Up For Kansas Lawmakers To Resolve School Spending
