Facing cost increases of up to $30 million next school year and no additional state funding, the Wichita school district’s chief financial officer said leaders will have to consider laying off teachers or other personnel.

“We have a big enough hole to fill that we’re probably going to get into staff cuts,” Jim Freeman said Tuesday.

“We’re getting to the point where any of the cuts now are going to hurt us.”

According to Freeman’s updated projections for the 2017 fiscal year, which begins in July, estimated cost increases for Wichita schools – the state’s largest district – will range from $16 million to $30 million. Revenue is expected to be flat under the state’s new block grant funding system.

especially the things that we had that were good, good by incredible amounts of effort put in by the people. Education, our highway department. I am not planning on my KPERS anymore. It is gone.

I have never seen anyone do so poorly and worry so much about how to fix it without ever giving an inch on his ideology.

Everything is going according to plan apparently but then we always knew that this was his plan. I wonder how much we will sell for?

Old retired farts like me refuse to pass a school bond? Fire the football coach. Fire the principal and the superintendent, too, since they're probably former coaches.
