TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A state district court panel has ruled that Kansas isnt spending enough money on its public schools to provide a suitable education for every child. The three judges on Tuesday did not set a specific figure but said evidence indicates the state needs to spend at least $548 million more a year.
An attempt by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the GOP-dominated Legislature to comply would complicate efforts to close state budget shortfalls. It also would jeopardize aggressive personal income tax cuts enacted at Brownbacks urging to boost the economy.
The state is expected to appeal the Shawnee County District Court panels decision to the Kansas Supreme Court.
