Every time I go to a public school open house/event, I wish that the "public schools are awful/failing/aren't patriotic enough/etc" crowd would actually step foot in our schools. Tonight our 3rd graders sang patriotic songs while dressed up like the presidents they researched 🇺🇸
Over 70 national leaders are joining us today for a presentation on "Conversation Driven Evaluation" at the #AASAConference in New Orleans. This presentation is being presented by leaders from USA-Kansas, #KELI, @KASBPublicEd, and #KSSA! #edleadershipmatters
@srothschild1@DanHawkinsKS How many states have this as legislation doesn’t impress me. Legislators spending time on social issues and getting paid by our taxes is concerning. They must be going for an award by ALEC instead of staying focus on KS
@KAKEnews Disagree with this decision but I am adamant that these kinds of decisions should be made at local school board level, not Topeka & not DC. Local school board, city & county races are extremely important. Get involved in your 2025 elections.
This year, we've brought in 260 committed economic development projects worth more than $3.4B in private-sector investment. Kansas is flourishing with new businesses and jobs, and we're putting the Sunflower State on the map.
BREAKING: Kansans have made their voices heard - the Department of Energy has withdrawn its proposal and there will not be a National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor across Kansas.
This is great news for the impacted landowners, farmers and ranchers!
Subbing recently has served as a poignant reminder of the numerous demands placed upon educators.
Sadly, some of my colleagues in the #ksleg haven’t set foot in a school building in years. Yet, they are responsible for making CRITICAL decisions regarding funding & policy.
If there is no assistance for our farmers and ranchers in the Continuing Resolution, I will not support the bill.
Through no fault of their own, Kansas farm families are struggling to keep their heads above water, and it is critical they receive assistance as soon as possible to continue their operations. I will continue working with my colleagues on the Senate Appropriations Committee and Ag Committee to provide certainty for our producers.
Kansans love their local public schools. But, we hear that #ksleg leadership wants to pass school vouchers in 2025. ICYMI, ~70% of vouchers go to families already in private school. Kansas communities thrive when our kids can depend on a well-funded local public school.
Thriving public schools = thriving KS communities. But some in #ksleg want school vouchers. Vouchers = learning loss; discrimination against SPED kids; unlicensed “teachers.” KS is best when every kid has the freedom to learn in their local public school.
KS public schools are the lifeblood of our communities. Sadly, dark-money lobbyists want the #ksleg to harm our schools in 2025. KASB is proud to support every Kansas kid, every day, in their local public schools.
Teachers in the Western Kansas Leadership Academy met today to learn about What Matters Most, influences on student learning, and more! This program seeks to build leadership capacity through investment in teachers! Thank you @KASBPublicEd and @swplains for your partnership.
This year, we allocated over $1.3B for our higher education system — the largest single-year investment in state history. We're setting Kansans up for success because our state is stronger when our schools and students thrive.
You can't make this up. Voucher advocates want people to be less educated so they can have more babies. I thought so-called conservatives opposed social engineering.
