Republican pushback on No Child Left Behind rewrite
Kansas GOP lawmakers debate funding shifts as the federal Student Success Act would replace per district Title I funding with a per pupil formula.

Kansas parties back higher campaign spending limits bill
A bill endorsed by both Kansas parties would raise individual contribution ceilings for state office. Gubernatorial candidates would rise to 4000 dollars, state senators to 2500 dollars, with all other limits doubling.
