Adequacy Debate Shapes Kansas School Funding Case
Kansas justices hear arguments on whether the state’s current school finance system meets constitutional adequacy. Solicitor General Stephen McAllister argues for deference to lawmakers and questions whether more spending reliably improves outcomes. Plaintiffs’ Alan Rupe counters that funding falls short for many students, risking long legal battles and further fiscal shifts as the 2017 legislative session looms. The court weighs Rose standards and potential safe harbor fixes while broader state tax policy and political brinkmanship color the backdrop.
