TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A state panel looking for financial efficiencies within the state’s public school system plans to recommend that school districts be audited annually, but it stopped short of endorsing a limit on required teacher negotiation rights.

The Wichita Eagle reports the K-12 Student Performance and Efficiency Commission on Tuesday approved the final draft of its recommendations. The commission was appointed last year to identify potential cost-savings in school spending plans.

The group decided to recommend a bill requiring annual audits, but added language saying the Legislature must pay for them after former Republican Sen. John Vratil, a commission member, chastised the panel for considering a measure that included an unfunded mandate.

The commission had until early this month to make its recommendations.
