It appears they are still in trouble with school funding, I thought they raised taxes.

Kansas schools may need between $1.7 billion and $2 billion in new funding to meet performance targets, according to a highly anticipated report provided to lawmakers.
Such massive increases could upend the state’s budget, potentially requiring cuts or tax increases.

The figures released Friday shocked lawmakers and others who had expected the report might provide a low figure on school spending. Instead, the study commissioned by legislative leaders says schools need much more to meet student achievement targets.[LEFT]

When your schools are only open for 4 days a week, they need more money to work.

The schools are funded just fine. I do not think there is not a single gov program that receives the funding it needs; that is the one consistent thing with government, always needs more money.

Why is it so hard for folks to stay focused on this forum?

We're talking about Kansas and the here and now.

Kansas citizens decided to cut taxes. One of the consequences was less money for schools.

Yeah when the state gets money through theft and doesn't have to worry about profit/loss/performance, the money it swipes is misallocated/wasted/stolen without consequence and it will just look to steal more...the excuse its "for the kids", will likely be used in this case.
Privatization is the answer.

And so be it. The people of Kansas can hold the line or increase taxes.
