The Kansas Supreme Court ruled this morning that state lawmakers have met the requirements they set on funding the public school, but the justices refused to close the draw out education funding lawsuit that prompted their decision. The new school finance law boosted funding roughly $90 million a year and was enacted in April with Bipartisan support. The court ruled that the new money was enough to satisfy the Kansas constitution but also said it was keeping the underlying lawsuit open to ensure that the state keeps its funding promises. Representative Blaine Flinch of Ottawa says, “It all sounds good, but that won’t be an easy task for the state.”
Governor Laura Kelly called the decision a victory for Kansas and our kids.
