TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt argues in a new court filing that the state’s new education funding law provides a “massive” increase in spending on public schools.

Schmidt filed a written defense of the law Monday with the Kansas Supreme Court and included almost 1,300 pages of supporting documents. The court has scheduled a May 22 hearing on whether the new law provides adequate funding.

Schmidt’s filing said the law phases in a $548 million increase over five years. The Supreme Court ruled in October that the current funding of more than $4 billion a year isn’t sufficient under the state constitution.

Schmidt filed his defense the same day Gov. Jeff Colyer signed a bill fixing a flaw in the law that otherwise would have shorted schools $80 million.
