Brownback to sign school finance bill (also strips teachers of due process)
Some are tweeting that this adds 35,000 volunteers to Brownback's democratic opponent's campaign. Only if they stay in Brownbackistan.

Gov. Sam Brownback will sign a controversial school finance bill that sends millions more to schools, but also strips public school teachers of a protection they’ve had since 1957.
The governor will sign the bill at a ceremony at 4 p.m. Monday at the Capitol. He will be joined by Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, and House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell.
The state was ordered by the Supreme Court to fix inequities in funding between school districts before July 1. HB 2506 will allocate $129 million to go toward closing gaps in capital outlay and local option budget funds, two areas where the court found unconstitutional inequities.
The bill has been strongly opposed by the Kansas National Education Association for tying the funding to what some say are unvetted policy changes.

unvetted? They were written by ALEC, the cookie cutter state legislature pre written canned state legislation funded by Koch money. Some say both Koch brothers were sitting in the KS senate president's office the night this pile of cr*p passed.
