Senate drops pure school funding bill in Kansas
The Kansas Senate sent a school finance bill back to committee amid debate over its compliance with the Kansas Supreme Court order to equalize K-12 funding. Lawmakers discussed holding harmless provisions while a revised bill would shield districts from losses, as the court warned of potential school closures if inequities persist. A companion House bill adding 17 million for districts stalled in committee.

Court denies request in education ruling
Kansas Supreme Court denied a motion by the plaintiff in Gannon v. State to modify and clarify language in the Feb. 11 ruling on school funding. Justice Lee Johnson was the sole dissenter. Chief Justice Lawton R. Nuss issued the order denying the motion as the case centers on underfunding of K 12 education by hundreds of millions and a summer deadline for lawmakers to fix inequities.
