Judge orders pause on school funding amid appeal

Kansas judge Bullock warns funds for public elementary and secondary schools could be halted after June 30. Kline plans an appeal and the state Supreme Court may review, while Sebelius and lawmakers clash over responsibility. The case stems from a 1999 ruling finding the current $2.77 billion distribution unconstitutional and inadequate for poor and minority students.
