Controversial Kansas education plan fails as GOP lawmaker switches vote last minute Katie Bernard, The Kansas City Star
Apr. 9 After a dramatic late-night stalemate, the Kansas Senate on Friday rejected a major overhaul of education policy that would have tied $5.8 billion in school funding to some controversial measures to expand school choice and restrict online learning.
The House had narrowly passed the policy, but the Senate failed to do the same, on a 20-20 vote.
The night before, the measure failed to pass as well, as the Senate was split 20-18 one vote short of passage. So proponents used a procedural move to push the vote to Friday.
