Education Law Center seeks amicus brief in Kansas school funding case
A New Jersey group advocating student rights seeks permission to file an amicus brief in the Kansas Supreme Court case Gannon v. Kansas. The Education Law Center argues courts nationwide uphold the right to an adequate public education despite tighter budgets, while Kansas Gannon plaintiffs demand over $500 million annually in funding. The state attorney general opposes intervention.
