:bc: Kansas failed trickled on utopia is a failed experiment. :lol: Since this was a popular thread in the original site - thought we should fire it back up.  Never know when Brownstain might turn the KS economy around :lmao:  Who needs to fund schools? :lol:

 

Kansas Supreme Court strikes down school funding system

May 27 (Reuters) - The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday again struck down the state's proposed school funding system and provided lawmakers a deadline of June 30 to fix disparities between rich and poor districts or else prompt a shutdown of the state's schools.

The state's high court rejected the system in February, saying it was inequitable and came up millions of dollars short in funding for schools in poor districts.

The Republican-controlled state legislature passed a new bill in April to fix issues identified by the court. The court said on Friday that the bill corrects part of the problem in the original legislation but failed to adequately address all the inequities.

The 47-page opinion said if the funding system were not sufficiently overhauled before June 30, there would be no constitutional finance system in place for the state's schools to operate under.

"The inability of Kansas schools to operate would not be because this court would have ordered them closed," the 47-page opinion said. "Rather, it would be because this court would have performed its sworn duty to the people of Kansas under their constitution to review the legislature's enactments and to ensure the legislature's compliance with its own duty."

For the newbies - this was a popular thread that illustrates the fallacy that trickled on economics does not work. Kansas and Gov Brownstain are providing an economic utopia for those who believe trickled on economics works...it does not.  I like to remind the class about the fallacy they support :bc:

Now their schools are in trouble because the trickle is not providing the proper tax revenue to support basic services....including schools:

Q: What did legislators do in March?

A: They increased capital outlay aid by $23.5 million for the 2016-17 school year.To pay for that, they applied the same formula for distributing capital outlay aid to the other, larger pot of aid. The change made the second pot cheaper by nearly $83 million a year.

But they also guaranteed that no district would lose any dollars.

The state saw no net increase in its overall spending.

Attorneys for the four school districts suing the state said lawmakers simply reshuffled existing funds.

Q: Why would lawmakers do that?

A: They also had to balance the state budget and faced a projected gap of more than $290 million. The state has struggled to stay in the black since Republican legislators slashed personal income taxes at GOP Gov. Sam Brownback's urging in 2012 and 2013 in an effort to stimulate the economy.

He hasn't backed off his signature cuts, and enough lawmakers haven't bucked him, so it always was unlikely they would find tens of millions of new dollars for schools.

Legislators also faced strong political pressure not to cut aid to wealthier districts to boost funding to poorer ones.
