"Rational Educational Explanation" or Politics as Usual? Evaluating the Outcome of Educational Finance Litigation in Kansas.
Baker, Bruce D.; Imber, Michael
Journal of Education Finance, v25 n1 p121-39 Sum 1999
"Mock v. Kansas" (1991) determined that the state legislature is obligated to fund its schools so that each child receives an equal educational opportunity. Two major sources of funding variations (the local option budget and higher weightings for rural students) represent unjustified disparities based on politics (and spending) as usual. Contains 28 footnotes. (MLH)
