Lawsuit fueled overhaul of Kansas school funding plan
Lawmakers debate a 2012 style rework replacing the 1992 per pupil formula with block grants for 286 districts. The bill, pushed by Gov. Brownback, aims to restore prior cuts and add about 300 million dollars in funding, though districts like Lawrence face reductions versus August expectations. Chiefs and lawmakers cite partisan shifts, support for reform, and ongoing challenges funding education amid tax cuts.
