The proverbial clock is ticking for many Kansas school buildings, whether due to implications of a complete slowdown due to code compliance, or due to failure of critical systems. Regardless of the reasons, millions of square footage of learning spaces are in jeopardy of no longer being able to serve students in adequate teaching and learning environments. For those school facilities that remain in operation, their effectiveness continues to wane with each year of age and usage. Ultimately, as more classrooms and other learning spaces continue to become uncomfortable, ineffective, or unusable, the greater the detriment to student learning. The funding mechanisms made available through current Kansas school finance law place significant revenue limitations on school districts through mill levy maximums. These taxing limitations--in nearly all instances--do not provide enough funding to adequately meet the capital infrastructure needs of schools. Yet, alternatives could be viable through state policy changes that would lead to greater revenue and educational opportunity.
