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.

Call your U.S. Congressional elected today. Stop the occupation of Minnesota and the unlawful use of masked, lethal ICE agents. Ask Congress how many more fatal shootings will they tolerate? 5calls.org

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.

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.
