VI. VII. VIII. Bond None submitted. Policy None submitted. Operations A. Report on Potential School District Shutdown Contact(s): John Allison Purpose: On February 11, 2016, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled the Legislature s 2015 Senate Bill 7, a block grant funding system, to be unconstitutional. The Court gave the Legislature until June 30, 2016 to enact a constitutionally equitable finance system for schools. The Court s decision stated: Without a constitutionally equitable school finance system, the schools in Kansas will be unable to operate beyond June 30. During the 2016 session, the Legislature passed Senate Substitute for House Bill 2655. In this bill, the Legislature attempted to address the Court s finding that the block grant funding system was inequitable and thus unconstitutional. On May 10 th, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on the question of whether or not Senate Substitute for House Bill 2655 provides a constitutionally equitable finance system for schools. The district cannot predict the outcome of the Supreme Court s decision or how the Legislature will respond if the Court finds Senate Substitute for House Bill 2655 to be unconstitutional. The purpose of this agenda item is to inform the Board of the effects that a court-ordered shutdown would have on district schools. Recommendation: Tonight s report is for informational purposes only. B.
