The Kansas Legislature meets in a special session Thursday morning where the major topic is school funding.

Lonnie Clark, the 65th District State Representative says there are two perspectives when looking at this issue.

“You can look at it as a school funding issue, whether or not it’s adequate funding for the schools; and you can look at it from the discriminatory side – are we being fair to all schools or are we discriminating against the poorer schools,” said Clark.

The special session begins with committee meetings today and could possibly continue in to next week.

There have been negotiations on an additional $38 million dollars to support poor school districts in the state.
