The insufficient federal and state funding for special education is forcing districts to divert General Fund resources intended for all students. It is also increasing pressure on our Local Option Budget (LOB), which is mainly funded through local property taxes.
For the first time in its history, USD 232 will be responsible for covering 50% of special education costs in the 2025β2026 school year. Full funding under state law would provide our district with over $4 million in additional funds to help cover these excess costs. #KSLEG

Districts across KS are facing fiscal challenges due to the growing responsibility to fund SPED services locally.The funding shortage is not the fault of our students,their families,or our educators;rather, it is the result of years of shortfalls at the state and federal levels.
