Senate Ed committee hearing SB271 - repealing sunset on high density at-risk weighting. Several SQE member USDs testifying in support — Herington USD 487; Fort Larned USD 271; Kismet-Plains USD 483; and, Caney Valley USD 436. #ksleg #ksed

[Kansas NEA @kneanews]

While some in the legislature are using at-risk students and the funding they need to sow partisan discord ahead of the #ksleg session, there are some truths that some members of the press- along with certain legislators- are failing to grasp. https://t.co/8Wz1JWEVxF

United Teachers of Wichita announced that they collected 200 hats, mittens and scarves in a recent donation drive which will be distributed to students in need. @UTW_KS
