Kansas public school funding case trims equity action
The Kansas three judge panel took no action on the equity portion of the Gannon versus Kansas case, signaling it may reopen hearings if lawmakers fail to follow through on spring funding. The panel deferred the broader adequacy question, citing ongoing proceedings and the Supreme Court remand. Rights groups note past cuts hit poorer districts hardest, while lawmakers cite added funds via equalization and local option budgets. Attorney General Schmidt welcomed the ruling and said the state has met capital outlay and local option equalization requirements.
