I'll support this amendment, but the Shawnee Mission District already has their own policy in place, and we don't need the #ksleg telling us our business.

Interestingly, Rep Goetz floated an idea of (example) $X sped funding increase in Year One of a new model, $Y annual funding increase for a few years, CPI-U increases after that. (That’s Leah’s summary, don’t quote Rep Goetz on that :).

KSDE’s Special Ed guru Bert Moore says he’s asked the state’s SPED administrators to weigh in on the discussion of how to best fund special education in Kansas. It sounds like that input may be presented at the September TF meeting.

There was a startling claim just now that virtual schools don’t get SPED $$. Thank goodness Dr. Harwood clarifies that’s just not true. Bert Moore also chimes in. Rather shocking these admins aren’t aware of that. SMH.

These funds support programs that are critical to student success, particularly for some of our most vulnerable youth. SMSD is committed to ensuring that the work continues. Unfortunately, this action by the USDOE shifts the financial burden onto local taxpayers. 3/

The district will continue to advocate for the release of this funding, in accordance with federal law.
