This morning, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that a lower court will deal with what it called unconstitutional inadequate funding for the state's K-12 schools.

On Friday's Up to Date, we take a look at what the 110-page ruling will mean for school funding, how the lower court might handle the the details and how all this affects this fall's race for the governor's office.

Guests:

  • Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, University of Kansas
  • Kansas State Rep. Melissa Rooker (R-25)
  • Kansas State Rep. Scott Schwab (R-49)
  • Kansas City, Kan., Schools Superintendent Cynthia Lane
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
