Courts should have no tax authority so, when they rule more money is needed, take from the judicial pool

The Kansas Supreme Court said Friday the state’s current public school funding levels are unconstitutional. In the much-anticipated ruling, the court said Kansas’ poor school districts were harmed when the state made the decision to cut certain payments when tax revenues declined during the Great Recession.

The State of Kansas has always been an odd duck, politically speaking. I think they're addicted to government subsidies.

Funding ain't the problem, Mr. Judge.

Well, hell, no need for a legislature or Governor any more, just let the gd lawyers in black robes do all the legislating!

That’s a good plan! /s

"A state Department of Education official estimates legislators must increase funding by $129 million"

And what if they don't? Is they court going to order them locked up? Take upon itself the power to write legislation, levy taxes and distribute the revenue? What?

Did the idiots in the Kansas State Supreme Court spend some time vacationing on the New Jersey shore with New Jersey judges?

The New Jersey Public SChool system has Abbott School Districts - allegedly impoverished, undersupported urban rat holes which are funded by the hard working residents of the rest of the state in THEIR school taxes. The amount that goes to pay per pupil in these districts is SO HIGH that they state could have afforded to send every one of those students to PRIVATE school at less money! The reason? Top heavy priviledged administrative personnel in those districts who receive outrageous salaries and benefits.

SO, Kansans BEWARE!!!! Do whatever you can to foil the crackpots and social activists in your state courts or you too could wind up like New Jersey!!!

The answer is simple, SELL The Courthouses and the properties they sit on, then setup TRAILERS in other State Owned parking lots for the courts to operate, complete with portable toilets.

just transfer requested funds from welfare funds to education. No not throw the extra burden on tax payers. Take some from Medicaid, food stamps, subsidized housing, and all the other goodies.

I believe Kansas is having problems balancing their budget as it is. This isn't going to help.

Once again the judiciary is usurping the role of the legislature in determining spending.

The General Assembly should simply ignore the KS Supreme Ct.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I’m confused, as I really don’t know the Kansas Constitution. Does it say that schools have to have a certain amount of money spent on them?
