Kansas schools lay foundation for new school finance fight

  • Attorney John Robb and his mustache are readying for another school finance fight.

Attorneys for the coalition of 72 Kansas school districts known as Schools for Fair Funding are paving the way for a new school finance fight in the courts.

Yesterday, John Robb and Alan Rupe filed a "notice

of claims" with the Kansas Legislature, the next step toward filing

the new lawsuit (and a move required by Kansas law).

In the notice, the Schools for Fair Funding attorneys say lawmakers

didn't follow through on a three-year funding plan that settled the

2006 school finance case, Montoy vs. Kansas. In year three, they say

lawmakers and Gov. Mark Parkinson cut school funding by $303

million. Add those cuts to "the inadequacy of school funding levels

prior to

and after those cuts," they say, and you get a violation of the Kansas

Constitution.



A

recent increase in the state's sales tax has stopped the cuts, but it

hasn't replaced the loss of $303 million.

Expect the lawsuit to be filed in October -- and a trial in 2011.

Absolute accurate perceptions written in a very detailed manner on this page when it comes to gain some knowledge in regard to foreclosed properties. Foreclosures surrounded some of our states as economy hit people badly. Government should announce a workable plan to keep things in control.

Such a great article giving some great information genuinely explaining some of the key things which you need to be aware of in particular about the part relating to getting some couseling prior to getting mortgage refinancing, so many people don't even consider it.
