Two bills introduced; staff hands out budget comparisons for Blind and Deaf schools
Summary
Representative Brantley introduced RS2580 (federal funding reporting) and Representative Steele introduced RS2776 (boards' dues allocation); KSDE staff Jennifer Light distributed comparison tables showing agency requests, special budget committee and governor recommendations for the State School for the Blind and the State School for the Deaf.
Two legislative items were introduced during the committee meeting. Representative Brantley introduced RS2580, described as a bill on federal funding reporting to the legislature; the chair noted no objections and accepted the introduction. Near the meeting’s end, Representative Steele introduced RS2776, a bill addressing boards of education and requiring each board to allocate membership association dues to individuals rather than to the board as a whole; that introduction also met no objection and was accepted.
Separately, Jennifer Light Kailherty (agency staff) handed out comparison documents for members that show differences between the agency request, the special committee on the state budget recommendation and the governor's recommendation for both the Kansas State School for the Blind and the Kansas State School for the Deaf. She explained the table layout and offered an updated SIVF (school impact/value) table for the following day.
No committee votes occurred on either bill during this meeting; both were entered as introductions for later consideration.
