Kansas lawmakers face varied backlash after the state Supreme Court ruling on school funding. Senate leaders, education advocates, and attorneys criticize legislative inaction and funding gaps while urging action to meet fiscal and moral duties to students and families across Dodge City, Salina, Topeka, and the state.
Kansas lawmakers cannot raise local property taxes as the court voided the Legislature plan. The district likely receives under 5 million in aid, a few hundred thousand less than the Legislature proposed, but officials call the decision fairer and a path to restoring cut programs and boosting teacher salaries. Community members say the ruling benefits all Kansas children and enables stable budgeting amid future legislative action.
Kansas lawmakers must return to the Statehouse this month to meet a Supreme Court deadline for boosting school funding by July 1. With the Senate chamber under renovation, leaders consider venues such as the Old Supreme Court. Gov. Sebelius and House leaders discuss timing as four funding options collide with a tight budget.
The Kansas Supreme Court affirms its ruling that the Legislature failed to provide constitutionally adequate funding for public education. It calls for immediate action and mandates at least a $285 million increase above the 2004-05 level for the 2005-06 school year, with about one third of the $853 million inflation-adjusted A&M study amount to be funded.
