All Kansas Public Schools Set To Close After June 30th

Quote

The Kansas Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the state's funding system for public education is unconstitutional and said it must be replaced by June 30 if schools are to remain open. The court found in an 80-page ruling that the system approved by lawmakers in the Republican-controlled state legislature last year was inequitable, saying it had come up $54 million short in funding for schools in poor districts.

If they want to go to school, let them work and save up the money. Who really needs twelve years of schooling anyway. Let them work and study in their spare time.

The state’s Constitution requires that the state finance a suitable education for everybody.
The exact wording is:

---

The legislature shall provide for intellectual, educational, vocational and scientific improvement by establishing and maintaining public schools, educational institutions and related activities which may be organized and changed in such manner as may be provided by law.
