How is the Spring Hill School District affected by the state’s budget shortfall?
Because 52 percent of the state’s general fund is dedicated to K-12 public education, funding cuts of historic levels are being made to Kansas schools in order to balance the state’s budget. Based on the funding reductions of $33 per student, the Spring Hill School District will lose approximately $97,000 in general funding, plus another $16,000 in special education monies. Unfortunately, much deeper cuts are anticipated for next year (2009-10), as it is not anticipated that the economy will recover significantly in the short term. District administrators will continue to watch legislators’ actions regarding the budgeting process and keep you updated.
