Kansas court orders extra funding for public schools
In June the Kansas Supreme Court ordered lawmakers to add 143 million dollars to the education budget by July 1 after a March increase to nearly 2.9 billion. Gov. Sebelius urged a special session to address funding while lawmakers debated constitutional questions and school priorities. Different leaders urged compliance, while others pushed for constitutional amendments or stalled action. Kansans are urged to consider who remains focused on children’s education as voters prepare for statehouse elections.
