Superintendent's Corner

Legislative Division of Post Audit released a performance audit report. The report describes two scenarios for Kansas Schools to consolidate.


“Kansas currently has 293 school districts. Under Scenario 1, 56 districts would be consolidated down to 28 leaving a total of 266 districts. Under Scenario 2, 242 districts would be consolidated down to 100, leaving a total of 152 districts. We estimated the consolidated districts’ operating costs would decreased by $17.9 million under Scenario 1 and $138.4 million under Scenario 2 because they would need fewer school administrative staff and teachers, and would realize other economies of scale. State funding for school districts would go down by an estimated $15.2 million and $129.4 million, respective, and, given the watt the school funding formula works, the local share of these districts’ local option budget also would drop.”

I feel our school district is in al integral part of our neighborhood and our local economy. Please contact our lawmakers. They want to hear from constituents not Superintendents.

This is a message from one of the representatives:

“It’s up to you to let us know. You must contact your state representative and your state senator: call them at home, call them in Topeka, e-mail them, and testify in committee. Hold them accountable for their decisions. Don’t let an uniformed public official determine the future of our children and community.”

Sincerely,
Representative Paul Davis
Kansas House Democratic Leader
