Kansas House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, addresses the media on Friday, March 21, 2014 in Topeka, Kan. Republicans in the Kansas House unveiled a plan Thursday that would fully fund aid to the state's poor school districts but tie the money to school "choice" initiatives from GOP conservatives that previously have foundered. The plan was drafted as a 91-page bill introduced Thursday evening by the Republican-dominated House Appropriations Committee, and GOP leaders said the committee would have hearings next week.
