Federal Appeals Court Favors Kansas City School District in Charter Funding Issue

http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/story/514478.html

A federal appeals court panel last week upheld a 2006 opinion by U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple that cleared the way for the district to keep withholding some funds directed to charter schools while the district pays off bonds from the federal desegregation lawsuit. The Missouri Board of Fund Commissioners in 2005 declared the Kansas City school district should no longer withhold from charter schools $800 per pupil to help pay off the payments under the desegregation case. The district had contested that decision.
