Liberty school closes a town’s chapter in Kansas history

The Liberty Kansas schoolhouse opened in the 1920s and served as a community hub even after the student body dwindled and the town lost residents. The closure shifted families to Coffeyville Independence and Cherryvale, while the building remained a gathering place for birthdays, weddings, 4 H, and graduations as Liberty, Kansas, endured population decline and evolving opportunities.

Kansas voters urged to settle school funding clash

A Kansas panel of three state court judges ordered lawmakers to boost school funding amid a half century dispute over proper funding levels and who should determine them. The decision demands at least 4,492 dollars per pupil base and an extra 442 million dollars, while pitting court authority against legislative power. Gov. Brownback questioned the ruling, advocating no near-term increase and a constitutional amendment to keep courts from dictating funding.
