Study recommending $2 billion for Kansas schools not 'of much value,' lawmaker says

[TexasTowelie]

TOPEKA -- A Republican leader says a study that recommends up to $2 billion more for Kansas schools is of no value to him.

"I don’t think the study is going to be of much value to the policymakers,” Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, said Tuesday. “I think it was very academic and I think everybody’s in agreement: It pointed to no policy that we could actually implement, nor did they have any implementation recommendations."

"So I’m not happy with the study because I don’t think it brings any value to the process."

The Kansas Supreme Court has ruled funding for schools is unconstitutionally inadequate. The court has given the Legislature until April 30 to respond.

1. and so you can't get up off the couch and fix the problem anyway?

Since you all (the gop in KS) started / caused the problem by constantly cutting the budget again and again. So perhaps instead of paying for another study (or studies), why don't you go home, study where you cut the budget back to bare bones over the last 5-10 years, and maybe, just maybe you'll then discover why you have a problem and where it came from.
