Hypothetically speaking, if total taxpayer support of Kansas public schools were more than $13,000 per-pupil and school districts had also used more than 350 million of state and local taxes to increase cash reserves, how much would you agree or disagree with this statement: Funding for other state agencies should be reduced in order to give more money to local school districts.

Spending on out-of-the-classroom expenses - administration, building operations, transport, and food service - varies among Kansas school districts, up to as much as $8,000 per pupil. How much do you agree or disagree with this statement: Out-of-the-classroom functions should be provided more efficiently on a regionalized basis, with savings put back into classrooms.

If an individual school district wants to spend more than is necessary to provide the same function or service, or add extras like retiree health care, should that be the responsibility of the residents within that district or all taxpayers across the state?

3 Cities and counties say they are "holding the line" on property taxes by referring to the tax rate, while actual tax collections are more than double the rate of inflation over time. If the county increases the valuation of your property but the tax rate is unchanged, do you consider that to be a tax increase? Or not?

13Spending on out-of-the-classroom expenses - administration, building operations, transport, and food service - varies among Kansas school districts, up to as much as $8,000 per pupil. How much do you agree or disagree with this statement: Out-of-the-classroom functions should be provided more efficiently on a regionalized basis, with savings put back into classrooms.
