THE ALLEGED IN THE POLITICAL REPORTS OF the term of financing education had "no rational basis to the receiving capacity. They said that because this financing system is based on a common persons for a species taxation when no rational basis supports such," these people were being denied equal protection under the
At present the attorneys are trying to get the attorney general's office to narrow the scope of his case, take it to court, according to David J. Waxse, an Olathe lawyer who filed the petition in Johnson County District Court. He is the law firm of Payne Jones.
The state of Kansas does provide funds to school districts according to a rather complicated set of rules. Factors included in the formula are the number of students and the quality of teachers which is based on how many years the teacher has served and the hours of college credit he has.
ROBERT LYDELL, attorney for the Desoto School District, said that the foundation formula really did dive students of the
state of the right guaranteed by the equal protection clause. He served in a number of county wide basis and locally, for Desoto, it worked as a attorney.
In Lawrence Unified School District No. 497, the amount spent per pupil is $704, said Kenneth Fischer, assistant superintendent for special education at 74 per cent comes from local property taxes, 25 per cent from the state and 1 per cent from the federal. Fisher said. There are other sources of funding for innovative programs and those for the deprived child.
The Desoto school district has joined the Caldwells in some parts of the suit. They also do not vote on matters of the state's matter of distributing funds is constitutional. The school district agreed they can not provide an education equal to other richer school districts.
IN ALL CASES of this nature it was usually assumed that the quality of education is proportionate to the amount of money spent. Most teachers and educators would agree that you should teach your children to buy books, materials and equipment. Another factor in
quality education, according to Fisher, was the interest of people in the community, the amount of time they spend, and the expend for the education of their young people. Indirectly the result of this is the amount of time students are spending. But according to Lee See, teaching assistant in education, the idea that there can only be one teacher there is a lot of mystery to simulate.
"Dollars and cents does not get a quality education," he said but what is needed is more emphasis on the basic teacher-student pair. He would want live teachers and not dead machines, he added.
A teacher could have the tape equipment, the new textbooks, new language lab and overhead monitors. But still she'd still be the same bad teacher.
