TOPEKA (KSNT) — A miscalculation is costing Kansas school districts a total of more than $11 million.

The state reimburses Kansas school districts for providing Medicaid services to its students such as counseling, mental health and nursing services. Recently, several Kansas districts have notified the state about an error that has been giving them more money than they needed.
