So now were being told that KPERS cuts arent cuts to education, even though during the past year we were told that KPERS funding did count as education funding. Were also being told that education and KPERS funding are not sustainable, and the legislature will look at structural reforms. We are fully aware that structural reforms that result in less spending are cuts no matter what you call them. We believe that its the current tax cuts that are unsustainable, not education and promised pensions. At least if we read really closely between the lines, we almost get an admission that the increases in education spending have not included increases to the base (the portion of the budget that funds teacher salaries, supplies and other operating costs).
