KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that parents in a suburban Kansas City school district cannot seek a local tax increase that would circumvent Kansas limits on school funding.
U.S. District Judge John W. Lungstrum on Friday dismissed a lawsuit filed by parents in the Shawnee Mission, Kan., school district. The parents were seeking a temporary injunction that would get around limits the state places on how much money school districts can raise from property taxes.
The parents wanted to ask local voters to approve a property tax increase, which they said was necessary because of shortfalls in Kansas education spending.
