Book Description
No state statute proscribes a mandatory retirement age for current employees of unified school districts or community colleges. Thus, it is improper for a board of education or board of trustees to rely upon the mandatory retirement age provisions of K.S.A. 72-5512 or 74-4937 (Weeks, 1980, now repealed,) as the basis for not renewing the employment contract of a faculty member. Additionally, during the term of a negotiated agreement reached under the Teachers' Professional Negotiations Law, a board of education or board of trustees, acting unilaterally, may not make changes in any item which is mandatorily-negotiable, such as the matter of retirement. Moreover, this is true even though the item was not noticed for negotiation and was neither discussed during negotiations nor included in the resulting agreement. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72 -5413(l)(1), 72-5501(d), 72-5512, 74-4931, 74-4937 (Weeks, 1980, now repealed), K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 74-4937; L. 1983, ch. 254, section 15; L. 1971, ch. 232, section 1(d)(7); L. 1970, ch. 326; L. 1941, ch. 341.

Book Description
The Kansas Supreme Court has the inherent power to prescribe conditions for admission to the bar and to regulate and control the practice of law. While there are statutes that relate to the practice of law, such statutes are effective only when in accord with the inherent power of the judiciary. Both K.S.A. 44-536(a) and rule 1.5(d) of the Kansas model rules of professional conduct adopted by Supreme Court rule 226 deal with how attorney fees in contingent fee cases are calculated. Because both the court's rule and the statute are intended to achieve the same goal, the legislation does not have a deleterious impact on the court's function. For this reason, K.S.A. 44-536(a) does not amount to a usurpation of power in contravention of the separation of powers doctrine and therefore is a statutory enactment which the court would sanction as in accord with the court's inherent power to regulate and control the practice of law. Cited Herein: K.S.A. 7-103; 7-104; 7-106; 7-108; 7-109; 7-111; K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 7-121b; K.S.A. 44-510c; 44-521; 44-531; 44-536.

Book Description
Government imposed content-based restrictions on speech are generally impermissible under the first amendment. However, a carefully crafted racial and sexual discrimination and harassment policy that is directed at conduct violative of title VI, title VII or title IX may indirectly regulate speech that is "swept up incidentally within" the policy's reach. Cited herein: 20 U.S.C.A. section 1681; 42 U.S.C.A. sections 2000d, 2000e; 29 C.F.R. section 1604.11.

Book Description
K.S.A. 75-4318 requires that actual notice of regular and special meetings subject to the Kansas open meetings act (KOMA) be individually provided to those persons requesting such notice. If there is no intent to subvert the KOMA, a meeting subject to that act may be adjourned, recessed or continued to another date, time or place. In our opinion, the notice requirements and intent of the KOMA are violated by giving notice that a meeting will begin on one day and then subsequently continuing that meeting to another day without making a good faith attempt to provide notice of the new date, time and place to those requesting notice. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-510b; 12-520a; 12-641; 12-749; 12-756; 12-1772; 13-1410; 14-111; 15-106; 15-123; 19-2646; 19-27,186; 75-4317; K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 75-4317a; K.S.A. 75-4318; 75-4319.

Book Description
A pupil attending a private school does not possess a property interest in the yearly provision, free of charge, of auxiliary school services as enunciated under K.S.A. 72-5393. Amending the statute as proposed in 1996 senate bill no. 636 would not violate the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72-5392; 72-5393; 1996 senate bill no. 636; 20 U.S.C. section 1400; U.S. const., amend. XIV.

Cited herein: K.S.A. 60-1111; 72-8201; 72-8416; 75-6101; 75-6103; K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 75-6104; K.S.A. 75-6111; 75-6401; 75-6402; 75-6403; L. 1979, ch. 186, sections 1-15.

Book Description
A citizen has a constitutionally protected right to participate in elections on an equal basis with other citizens in the jurisdiction. In order to ensure exercise of this right, state statute and the national voter registration act require that sites designated as places of registration be open to the public at large. Designation of sites which are not open to the public at large may result in legal action against the public entity responsible for the operation of the place of registration. Cited herein: KS. A. 25-2302; 25-2303; 25-2309; 252310; 25-2311; 25-2312; 25-2313; 42 U.S.C.A. section 1973gg; 42 U.S.C.A. section 1973gg-5; 42 U.S.C.A. section 1973gg-9.
