Kansans hear plan to buy time on school funding
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius unveiled a plan to increase school funding by 541 million dollars over three years to pause the Kansas Supreme Court ruling. The plan, not matching all Audit recommendations, aims to give lawmakers more time to fix shortfalls while facing a court hearing on whether it satisfies the constitutional duty to fund a suitable education. Meanwhile in Wichita two men were charged with capital murder and kidnapping in the death of 14 year old Chelsea Brooks, with another juvenile charged and prosecutors weighing the death penalty after review.
