Council denies claim on school funding in Topeka
Legislative leaders denied a claim by Schools for Fair Funding that the Legislature shirked its duty to fund schools. The Leg Coordinating Council, after a closed session, called the move procedural for a brewing Kansas school finance case. The group represents over 70 districts and says the state failed to meet the Supreme Court ruling. House Speaker Mike O Neal called the action a legal formality. The group plans to file suit within the month.
