CANTON – At its January meeting, the Unified School District 419 Board of Education approved supporting Schools for Fair Funding in reopening the Montoy Case. The board had voted to join SFFF during the December meeting. According to Bill Seidl, the board made it clear that while they supported opening the Montoy Case, the members were hesitant about giving support for a new lawsuit.
“It was a 7-0 vote,” Seidl said. “I believe they all felt that’s the way it should be. Further cuts are not the way to dig our way out of these economic times.”
SFFF is the organization that acts as a spokesperson not only for schools but also for the state’s social entities, such as the judicial system, SRS and senior citizens, Seidl said. The SFFF now represents the interests of nearly 700,000 Kansas students. Even though the main focus is education, other program cuts are brought to light through the SFFF discussions.
According to Seidl, Kansans must continue to question cuts in programs and ask, “Is this good for society?” and “Is this really what we want?”
