The State of Kansas is required by law to fund 92% of special education excess costs. It currently funds significantly less.

In Baldwin USD 348, that funding gap exceeded $678,000 in 2025-2026 alone. Because schools must still provide these services, local taxpayers make up the difference through local property taxes. Additionally, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) also requires schools to provide special education services to qualifying students.

If the State fully funded special education as required by law, Baldwin USD 348 could reduce pressure on local taxes, lower mills, invest in staff, and keep more local dollars in our community.
