On April 6, 2026, the Education Consensus Group met to revise the estimates for seven major areas of K-12 education finance for FY 2026, FY 2027, and FY 2028. The education caseloads estimate includes expenditures for State Foundation Aid, Supplemental State Aid, Capital Outlay State Aid, Capital Improvement State Aid, Special Education State Aid, Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS) contributions for USD employees, and KPERS contributions for non-USD employees. A chart summarizing the estimates for FY 2026 through FY 2028 is included at the end of this memorandum. Both the memorandum and the chart detail expenditure changes in two ways: 1) looking at overall totals for all seven categories, and 2) looking at expenditures of the five categories outside of KPERS contributions (referred to as “School Finance”).
