Dollars Vs. Policy — A Clash Of School Finance Titans

Ways To Subscribe

The Kansas Senate has agreed to give school districts raises. The House has not. Instead, negotiators are headed to the bargaining table with a stack of new requirements for reporting how schools spend their money. Rep. Kristey Williams is the one leading the charge for more accountability from districts. 

Statehouse Blend Kansas is a production of the Kansas News Service, a collaboration of KCUR, Kansas Public Radio, KMUW, and High Plains Public Radio. Subscribe wherever you listen and leave a review.

The theme song, also known as "Warm Evening" by Nameless Dancers, was found in Free Music Archive.
