K-12 funding bill is the result of delicate #ksleg compromise, one I respect and endorse. Court should review with appropriate deference.

"I want to keep our schools open and ensure our students continue to have access to a quality education," Brownback said in a statement.
Browback's full statement:
“The legislature has acted to keep Kansas schools open and I agree with its choice. I have signed Senate Substitute for House Bill 2655 because I want to keep our schools open and ensure our students continue to have access to a quality education. I would remind those who criticized this bill as a ‘product of politics,’ that it is indeed the job of the legislature to address these issues. The legislature consists of 165 elected representatives of the people. I do not take their judgment lightly. This bill is the result of a delicate legislative compromise – one that I respectfully endorse and that the Court should review with appropriate deference.”
