Legislators chart course to meet school finance deadline
In Topeka, lawmakers face an April 12 deadline to fix Kansas school finance after the Supreme Court ruled current funding levels are inadequate. The court did not specify the amount or allocations, challenging legislators to examine past changes since 1992 while seeking constitutional compliance. Representative Mike O’Neal noted the court invited review of previous steps without declaring them wrong.
