New Voice in the Education Budget Situation
The financial picture for education looks grim. However that doesn’t mean we should stop communicating with our legislators about what we expect from our Kansas schools. One voice that has lately emerged is Kansans for Quality Communities. It is a collaboration of several organizations such as KNEA, Kansas Families for Education, and Association of Mental Health Centers of Kansas. They have been actively communicating with legislators in Topeka. Click here for more information on this group and others working to aid our public schools.
