Kansas lawmakers and education advocates reacted to a three judge ruling that current funding for public schools is unconstitutional for not providing required academic outcomes. They cited potential increases and called for careful consideration after the Kansas Supreme Court reviews the case.
In a 117 page ruling judges linked declining test scores to cuts in education funding after the Great Recession. They noted that if all 58,218 Kansas students who are nonproficient in reading formed a district it would be larger than Wichita and that economically disadvantaged nonproficient students could fill nearly another district.
The state will appeal the ruling to the Kansas Supreme Court, a move that likely delays final resolution until at least next year. The decision heightens concern over a $600 million funding shortfall for the upcoming fiscal year, while honoring the constitutional duty to fund education. Justice emphasized that funding obligations stem from the Kansas Constitution and must be met despite fiscal dilemmas.
