Kansas school districts could possibly be looking at a shutdown after June 30 if the Legislature does not make changes to the way the state plans its education spending.
The Kansas Supreme Court ruled in the case of Gannon vs. Kansas that the Legislature had not found solutions to the inequities apparent within the state’s school finance formula.
Attorney Alan Rupe, who helped a number of schools in their lawsuit pertaining to school funding, said that as a result of the ruling, lawmakers will have to fix the funding situation that is currently ongoing between rich and poor school districts.
