Kansas AG seeks stay as school funding fight drags on
The Kansas attorney general asks for a stay while the state Supreme Court reviews a long running school finance case from 1999. The challenge, brought by parents and administrators in Dodge City and Salina, argues the state’s $2.77 billion aid system is unconstitutional and underfunds programs for poor and minority students. Bullock urged a July 1 deadline for finalizing the order, prompting legislators to allow immediate appeal to the high court. Kansas National Education Association President Christy Levings criticized lawmakers for defiance and warned the issue needs urgent attention.
