State of Kansas:
20 Section
1. K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 72-6410 is hereby amended to read as
21 follows: 72-6410. (a) "State financial aid"
means an amount equal to the
22 product obtained by multiplying base state
aid per pupil by the adjusted
23 enrollment of a district.
24 (b) "Base state
aid per pupil" means an amount of state financial aid
25 per pupil. Subject to the other provisions
of this subsection, the amount
26 of base state aid per pupil is
$3,770 in the 1999-2000 school year and
27 $3,820 in the 2000-01 school year and
$3,870 in the 2001-02 school year
28 and in school years thereafter. The amount
of base state aid per pupil is
29 subject to reduction commensurate with any
reduction under K.S.A. 75-
30 6704, and amendments thereto, in the amount
of the appropriation from
31 the state general fund for general state
aid. If the amount of appropria-
32 tions for general state aid is insufficient
to pay in full the amount each
33 district is entitled to receive for any
school year, the amount of base state
34 aid per pupil for such school year is
subject to reduction commensurate
35 with the amount of the insufficiency.
36 (c) "Local
effort" means the sum of an amount equal to the proceeds
37 from the tax levied under authority of
K.S.A. 72-6431, and amendments
38 thereto, and an amount equal to any
unexpended and unencumbered
39 balance remaining in the general fund of
the district, except amounts
40 received by the district and authorized to
be expended for the purposes
41 specified in K.S.A. 72-6430, and amendments
thereto, and an amount
42 equal to any unexpended and unencumbered
balances remaining in the
43 program weighted funds of the district,
except any amount in the voca-
44 tional education fund of the district if
the district is operating an area
2
1 vocational school, and an amount
equal to any remaining proceeds from
2 taxes levied under authority of
K.S.A. 72-7056 and 72-7072, and amend-
3 ments thereto, prior to the repeal of
such statutory sections, and an
4 amount equal to the amount deposited
in the general fund in the current
5 school year from amounts received in
such year by the district under the
6 provisions of subsection (a) of
K.S.A. 72-1046a, and amendments thereto,
7 and an amount equal to the amount
deposited in the general fund in the
8 current school year from amounts
received in such year by the district
9 pursuant to contracts made and
entered into under authority of K.S.A.
10 72-6757, and amendments thereto, and an
amount equal to the amount
11 credited to the general fund in the current
school year from amounts
12 distributed in such year to the district
under the provisions of articles 17
13 and 34 of chapter 12 of Kansas Statutes
Annotated and under the pro-
14 visions of articles 42 and 51 of chapter 79

17 qualified percentage of the amount of

18 current school year under the provisions of
title I of public law 874 and
19 congressional appropriations therefor,
excluding amounts received for as-
20 sistance in cases of major disaster and

impact aid defined herein
22 as an amount equal to the federally
qualified percentage of the amount
23 of moneys provided for the district under
title I of public law 874 shall
24 be determined by the state board in
accordance with terms and conditions
25 imposed under the provisions of the public
law and rules and regulations
26 thereunder.
27 Sec. 2. K.S.A. 1999 Supp.
72-6410 is hereby repealed.
