Turner parents sue to challenge education funding rule
Five Turner School District parents file suit with the Kansas Supreme Court seeking to strike down the School District Equalization Act as amended in 1989. They contend enrollment categories and aid formulas unreliably favor the five largest districts, including Kansas City Kansas, Shawnee Mission, and Olathe, over the Turner district and 30 others, challenging state funding as unconstitutional. The suit names the State, Board of Education, Education Commissioner, State Treasurer, and the director of accounts as defendants, and argues the disparity between fourth and fifth enrollment districts persists despite amendments.
