A Senate committee has sliced roughly $120 million from the governor's budget recommendations for public schools, including money targeted for special education and adding more child care slots in Kansas.

The Senate Ways and Means Committee on Friday took up the budget proposal recommended by the Education Committee, which deleted a series of proposals by Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly.

The Education Committee struck $119.8 million from the schools budget, including $74.9 million proposed for funding special education and $30 million for grants that would be used to construct new child care slots.
