This post is from our friends at Stand Up Blue Valley but applies throughout the state. Underfunding SPED hurts ALL students, and the current status is unacceptable, yet our legislators don’t feel compelled to act. It wil also be unacceptable if they try to address the underfunding in the conference committee by using SPED funding as a bargaining chip for voucher expansion. Just stop the games, do the right thing and fund SPED. Also, in August remember how this is being played out and realize how much Kansas legislative leadership and their dark money funders hate having the Kansas Supreme Court hold them to their constitutional obligation to fund schools as they try to get voters to approve a constitutional amendment to elect Supreme Court Justices.
