Kansas lawmakers face a July 1 court ordered fix to equity in two school funding components, with a bill passed April 6 altering local option budgets that would hit Lawrence USD about 2 million yearly in spending authority. The measure also repeals tenure rights for veteran teachers, a provision Brownback has not signed and may conflict with varying public statements. Lawrence educators warn of expanded bargaining topics if tenure repeal passes, while district officials contemplate responses and board members criticize the finance provisions and projected losses.
