Maybe the Kansas Supreme Court’s school finance order to phase in a consultant’s recommendations on school finance will cause lawmakers — and, we hope, Wichita City Council members — to be less inclined to hire so many consultants.

    You’re right. The Augenblick & Myers report was pure garbage. Kenneth Daniel has an excellent analysis of it here: http://www.cnht.org/images/augenblick.pdf
    If the link fails, google “Augenblick” and “cnht”, and select the HTML version.

    One of the best quotes is at the end: “The key A&M conclusion was that no significant changes are needed in the approach Kansas uses to distribute state aid to school districts[40]. A&M then proceeded to recommend an astonishingly complex and expensive group of changes.”
