520 |a This report on Kansas schools identifies educational facilities funding as being a difficult issue for public school districts for many years. Recent problems have surfaced as communities seek to construct and maintain buildings in an era of escalating needs. Those needs have frequently been related to expanding curricular innovations, new mandates, and the passage of time, which has taken its toll on buildings. The combination of events has produced a sizeable problem deserving great attention. The increased demand for resources to address increasing facility needs usually has been placed squarely on the local property tax. As school taxes have increased for instructional and other educational needs, there has often been little opportunity to devote scarce resources to facility needs. In consequence, a deficit has developed, in which facilities have received lower emphasis, while instructional priorities logically demanded the bulk of limited finances. In Volume 1 of this document, a case is made for increased attention to facilities and it is suggested that courts have shown preliminary interest in such facility concerns. It is further argued that state finance reform is an important issue and that school leaders and policymakers should increase efforts to find new and innovative solutions. Volume 2 contains technical appendices that present the statistical evidence on which the conclusions reached in the first volume are drawn. The data were gathered primarily for Kansas school districts that wish to compare their relative positions to other districts in the state. (TES)
