Kansas lawmakers faced a June 30 deadline to fix inequities after the state Supreme Court ruled the 2015 switch to block grants violated the state constitution. The unsigned ruling backed a 2015 district court finding that funding is not equitable and warned of potential school closures if action is not taken.
Finance director Kathy Johnson says the Lawrence school district absorbed a 446000 loss due to changes in funding enacted last year, impacting budget planning and program funding across the district. The district notes the hit affects multiple schools and line items.
A three judge panel's ruling influences next year block grant funding while districts cheer the decision. The budget faces tight balances with only about 31 million dollars ending this year and 111 million next year, possibly down to 9 million due to lower revenues. The House passed its budget 68 to 56 amid court tensions and Democratic attempts to send it back to committee. Rep Ron Ryckman Jr said he would comment after review.
In a weeks long dispute, the city of Lawrence and The Oread hotel developers issued default notices on their redevelopment agreement. Oread Inn blames withheld tax reimbursements while the city cites noncooperation and sets a 30 day deadline to address listed issues.
The Kansas Senate worked late into the night and passed a budget bill despite the Kansas Supreme Court ruling earlier that day that a major part of the budget, the system funding public schools, was unconstitutional.
The Senate on Thursday voted down a proposal that would have granted universities an additional four years to meet the state's concealed carry requirements. The deadlock leaves current compliance timelines in place and affects campus safety policy moving forward.
