Kansas Lawmakers Decide Not to Address School Funding

The Kansas Supreme Court recently said the system Kansas lawmakers use to fund schools is unconstitutional, but lawmakers decided not to respond during the final day of the legislative session. The court says lawmakers have created unconstitutional funding disparities among school districts that must be fixed or schools will be closed. As KPR’s Stephen Koranda reports, that means there could be a special session or a showdown between the court and lawmakers.
