Book excerpt: Reapportionment of the Senate need not necessarily coincide with reapportionment of the House of Representatives. However, because current population figures reflect a 44.4% total deviation in State Board of Education member districts, it is our opinion that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution requires that board member districts be reapportioned before the 1990 election of board members. Board member districts are based on senatorial districts. Thus, unless the senatorial districts can be regrouped to significantly lessen the current total deviation in population among board member districts, the Senate must be reapportioned in 1989. Reapportionment of the Senate in 1989 will not affect the terms of office of incumbent senators. Cited herein: K.S.A. 25-1911; 72-7513; Kan.
