Kansas, Montana, and New York are the states currently under orders from their highest courts to fix their school finance systems. In Kansas, House and Senate leaders have agreed to a plan that would increase per-pupil funding for at-risk, bilingual, and special education students. It would also create a $20 million program to help districts improve student achievement in reading and mathematics in kindergarten through 3rd grade. In addition, the bill would guarantee cost-of-living increases for future years and allow districts to supplement state funding by levying additional property taxes--something districts are not allowed to do now. Here, Kansas lawmakers are proposing to spend $145 million on education in response to a state supreme court decision declaring the state's system of school funding unconstitutional. In Texas and Montana, plaintiffs are saying the same thing about legislative responses to their state courts. In New York, advocates of greater school funding are headed back to the courtroom because the legislature has not acted on the highest state court's 2003 order to fix funding for the New York City public schools.
