Permanecerán abiertas escuelas en Kansas L
as clases de verano y los programas de comidas continuarán dando servicio a los estudiantes de Kansas, y los 286 distritos escolares públicos en el Estado abrirán en agosto para el año escolar 2016 -17. El pasado viernes, los legisladores estatales se reunieron en una sesión especial y aprobaron el proyecto de ley de financiamiento educativo. H.B.2001 provee una solución temporal a la estructura financiera escolar, cumpliendo con la orden de la Corte Suprema de Kansas para remediar la desigualdad de financiamiento entre los distritos escolares ricos y pobres. El gobernador de Kansas, Sam firmó el proyecto de ley el lunes, y el fiscal general del Estado, Derek Schmidt emitió una declaración describiendo el H.B. 2001 como “constitucionalmente equitativo”. Él dijo: «Me siento positivo de que… mantendrá las escuelas abiertas y operando sin interrupción». El voto para el H.B 2001 en la Cámara fue de 116 -6 y en el Senado, 38 -1. Los legisladores lo aprobaron al final del segundo día de la sesión especial, convocada por el gobernador el 7 de junio para evitar un cierre de escuelas a nivel estatal. El 27 de mayo, la Corte Suprema de Kansas había estipulado que el sistema de financiamiento escolar público de kínder al doceavo grado era inconstitucionalmente injusto. Los siete jueces impusieron una fecha límite del 30 de junio para arreglar la estructura financiera escolar o las escuelas se cerrarían el 1º de julio. El proyecto de ley exige un aumento de ayuda estatal para los distritos escolares pobres por un total de $38 millones para el año escolar 2016 -17. A nivel local, las escuelas de Kansas City, Kansas obtendrán unos $2.6 millones; otros distritos perderán fondos: las escuelas en Olathe, unos $75,000; Shawnee Mission unos $1.4 millones; y Blue Valley $2.4 millones. A nivel estatal, 169 distritos escolares verán diferentes aumentos de financiamiento,

Kansas schools to stay open
By Edie R. Lambert ummer classes and lunch programs will continue serving Kansas students, and the state’s 286 public school districts will open in August for the 2016-17 school year. Last Friday, state lawmakers meeting in special session passed an education funding bill. H.B. 2001 provides a temporary fix to the school finance structure, in compliance with a Kansas Supreme Court order to remedy the funding inequity between rich and poor school districts. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback signed the bill on Monday. And state Attorney General Derek Schmidt issued a statement describing H.B. 2001 as “constitutionally equitable.” He said, “I am optimistic it will … keep schools open and operating without interruption.” The vote on H.B. 2001 in the House was 116-6 and in the Senate, 38-1. Lawmakers approved it late on the second day of the special session, called by the governor on June 7 to avoid a statewide school shutdown. On May 27, the Kansas Supreme Court had ruled that the state’s K-12 public school-funding system was unconstitutionally inequitable. The seven justices imposed a June 30 deadline to fix the school finance

structure or have schools shut down July 1. The bill calls for increasing state aid to poor school districts by a total of $38 million for the 2016-17 school year. Locally, Kansas City, Kan., schools will gain about $2.6 million; the rest lose -- Olathe schools, some $75,000; Shawnee Mission about $1.4 million; and Blue Valley $2.4 million. Statewide, 169 school districts will see varying funding increases, 77 will lose some aid and 40 will see no change, The Associated Press reports. The additional monies will be diverted from other state departments, and $13 million will be drawn from proceeds from the sale of the Kansas Bioscience Authority if it sells for more than $25 million. If it sells for less, the bill allows up to $13 million to be taken from “an extraordinary needs” fund set up to help K-12 schools faced with unexpected demands. The remaining $15 million will come from motor vehicle fees and the state’s share of a 1998 legal settlement with tobacco companies. Last December, the KBA board voted to privatize after losing much of its state funding. In March, Kansas lawmakers approved a bill – S.B. 474 – allowing for the sale by the state of KBA’s assets. The sale of the Olathe-based economic development agency is expected to generate $25 to $38 million. School districts that

Commentary by Carey Juez-Perez
lthough Independence Day (July 4) is A a festive holiday, filled with fireworks, barbeques and family gatherings, safety should be the top priority. Here are a few tips to keep your family safe this Independence Day:
*Don’t use fireworks at home: That’s the best way to protect your family. There are many free fireworks displays in the Kansas City area. However, if you plan to shoot fireworks at home, check to determine if they’re legal in your city. *Avoid letting children play with sparklers: Children love holding sparklers, but sparklers can heat up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit and small arms can burn easily. Instead, offer a safe alternative, such as glow sticks. *Be careful when igniting fireworks: With the extreme heat this summer, lighting fireworks in dry grass is dangerous. And don’t point fireworks toward trees or
