Kansas Supreme Court orders summer fix for inequitable school funding
The Kansas Supreme Court sets a summer deadline for lawmakers to address inequities in K 12 financing after spring budget cuts. The ruling warns of possible school shutdowns by June 30 if funds are insufficient, potentially costing 100 million dollars or more to meet a fair funding standard for the 2016 2017 year. John Robb endorses the decision as a strong mandate for legislative action.
