Lawmakers debate odds of July school shutdown
Kansas lawmakers clash over a possible school shutdown if a constitutional funding plan is not approved by July 1. The Kansas Supreme Court ruled the spring funding system unconstitutional, prompting a June 23 special session called by Gov. Brownback. Rep. Russ Jennings says shutdown is unlikely but court actions could disrupt cash flow and force reserve fund use. Estimates for required funding range from 38 to 51 million annually, with about 15 million in the extraordinary needs fund available.
