Governor Sebelius comments on Supreme Court ruling

“Kansas kids are the real winners in the Legislature’s actions to support our schools. That’s what today’s decision means. It’s great that teachers, parents and students can focus on learning, rather than wondering whether schoolhouse doors will be open in the fall.

“The results here illustrate what can happen when legislators listen to the people of Kansas and act responsibly. Still, we have lots of work to do, especially when it comes to protecting Kansas taxpayers and maintaining our economic momentum over the past three years. I look forward to building on the cooperation of the special session as we work together to meet future challenges.”
