State attorney says not required to have perfect funding or best education

Ad astra per aspera or just ad mediocritas?

“Kansas is not required by its constitution to have a perfect education funding system or the nation’s best, an attorney for the state told a district court panel Friday as it considered whether to block the state’s new school finance law.

“’It is not the obligation of the state to come up with the best or a perfect system,’ [Attorney Arthur] Chalmers said.”
