Commencing in school year 2018-2019, all school districts shall have a local option budget that is at least 15% of such school district's total foundation aid.

The aggregate amount of moneys provided for school districts from the adoption of a local option budget in excess of the amount required under K.S.A. 72-5143(a), and amendments thereto, also may be included in determining the adequacy of the amount of total funding provided by the legislature in making suitable provision for finance of the educational interests of the state.
