What an exciting day! The 2023 Kansas Teacher of the Year team visited the Statehouse this morning. This afternoon, the team will present in front of the Joint Committee of the House & Senate Education Committees. They are being honored by the House & Senate today, too.

[KS Dept of Education @ksdehq]

On the team's agenda this afternoon - continued work on their presentations; media training; and a presentation of an @enterprisecares vehicle to the 2023 Kansas Teacher of the Year @BrianSkinnerKS!

[KS Dept of Education @ksdehq]

Next, the team had a conversation with three Kansas superintendents - Dr. Mike Argabright from @USD252SLC; @TimHallacy from @sh_usd450; and @doc_nuge from @AtchisonPublic. The topic of discussion? From a superintendent's perspective, what are the major education issues in Kansas?
