TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Republican legislators in Kansas are moving closer to passing Democratic Gov. Laura Kellys plan to boost spending on public schools after some GOP lawmakers dropped their push for an alternative Wednesday night with a court deadline looming.
Kellys proposal to increase education funding by roughly $90 million a year is designed to satisfy a Kansas Supreme Court ruling last year that lawmakers arent spending enough on schools.
The court gave the states attorneys until April 15 to file a written report on lawmakers response.
