At least 10 districts reported in 2023 that their bathrooms, gyms and cafeterias weren’t all accessible for students with disabilities, with some unable to get their lunch or attend classes on second floors.

Following reporting by KYUK, ProPublica and NPR, lawmakers tripled the funding the state would allocate toward school construction and maintenance. The budget increase would still only cover about 13% of what school districts requested.
