Kansas Democrats predict funding extension By JOHN HANNA Associated Press TOPEKA, Kan. The Kansas top Democrats predict- ed Sunday that Repub- lican lawmakers will try this year to extend a new law for funding the public schools been criticized by many educators.
Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hens- ley, of Topeka, and House Minority Lead- er Tom Burroughs, of Kansas City, said they doubt the Legis- GOP majori- ties will pass another school funding law this year to replace a short-term one en- acted last year. Demo- cratic lawmakers met for policy briefings a day before opening of the Legisla- annual session. Republican leaders have acknowledged that not sure how far legislators will get in writing a new formula for distributing more than $4 billion a year in aid to the 286 school districts. The current law which junked a per-pupil for- mula in favor of set is set to expire in July 2017 be- cause the GOP lawmak- ers who wrote it meant it to be temporary. Hensley and Bur- roughs said they think Republicans will at- tempt to extend the current law until July 2018, so that much of the work of drafting a new formula can be postponed until after this elections.
All legislative seats will be on the ballot in November. the end of the day, I think just Hensley told fel- low Democrats.

LOUIS A St. Louis technical college participating in a program focused on ad- dressing economic dis- parities in poor areas is flush with cash but struggling to find stu- dents to spend it on.
The St. Louis Post- Dispatch reported Ran- ken Technical College has received about $6 million in donations as part of the Ferguson Forward initiative set up last year by St. Lou- is-area businesses. The money is sup- posed to be doled out over five years to pay for transportation, food, books, uniforms and tuition. But Ranken has re- cruited just over 100 Ferguson Forward stu- dents since fall 2014, and it has room for sev- eral hundred more.
Technical colleges have found it difficult to get past the stigma that they are second-rate schools for students not good enough to get into a four-year college. Go to newspressnow.com/ Alerts to sign up for BREAKING NEWS and WEATHER ALERTS sent directly to your phone. TEXT ALERTS.
