We oppose ultra conservatives messing with the funding formula at this point. Increasing funding shouldn’t entitle legislators to insert bad policy or move funding. This reminds us too much of the games played in 2014 when legislators removed due process and passed the tax credit scholarship program in the final pre-dawn hours of the session. Just fund the inflation adjustment and move on to other issues. 

“If Kansas’ highest court is going to force state lawmakers to boost public education funding again, some conservative Republicans want something in return, including a say in how the extra money is spent and a voucher program to allow bullied kids to switch to private schools.”
