Lawsuit delay on school funding and constitutional issues
Attorney General Derek Schmidt called recent orders in the Gannon v. Kansas case unexpected and delaying. Lawmakers eyed a $130 million earmark to equalize district financing, while the lower court’s finding on whether state aid meets a constitutional mandate for suitable financing could cost Kansas up to $550 million annually. Senate leader Hensley framed the order as a response to block grant legislation.

Kansas House passes school funding bill amid leaks of uncertainty
The bill would shift funding across districts with Shawnee County losing all five of its students while not all districts face cuts. Topeka Republicans Corbet and Jones supported the bill, Democrats Alcala Kuether Lane and Tietze opposed along with Republicans Patton and Hemsley. A call of the House delayed final action as Republicans pressed budgeting reform. The move comes as the Kansas Supreme Court weighs a ruling requiring a $500 million annual increase and the 2015 Legislature battles a projected $600 million deficit for the next fiscal year.
