Will the KC School District have to pay millions the local Charter Schools that didn't really do that much good?

The Star Reports:

The Kansas City School District has suffered a setback in its battle with charter schools over millions of dollars in state funding — a total that could top $45 million.

Cole County Circuit Judge Thomas B. Brown III has tossed out four of the district’s five arguments for withholding millions of tax dollars from charter schools, including the district’s central claim. But Brown said the district could proceed with a claim that the state acted capriciously in ordering the payments.

District officials estimate the annual payments at $4 million to $6 million.

That's a pretty nice chunk of change. With that money, Charter School could afford to buy a few promising KC students a fleet of cars . . . so they can commute to a decent school district.
