The Kansas Supreme Court ruled unanimously Friday that the Kansas National Education Association could not block a 2014 law repealing tenure rights for veteran teachers. Democratic leaders vow to introduce a bill to restore due process rights, arguing the challenge violated the one subject rule. Justice Dan Biles wrote that combining appropriations and general legislation into one bill is permissible if all provisions address the same subject.
