Constitutional question. Not of how much, but if the amt budgeted is reasonable. I mean, crazy KS could just decide to pull all funding and let the private market figure it out if it wasn't for the state constitution, right?
Also, iirc, the existing budget under funds the existing system by something like $160M. If they want to make the system cost less, fine, but address it through the Board of Ed first by establishing a new system rather than just not funding it.
I get you want to rail on some appearance of govt stepping in the way and out of their role, but it seems like this is checks and balances at work here.
