Hello #ksed ! It’s KASB Day at the Capitol. We are in the House gallery to observe recognitions & floor work. School board members & superintendents from across Kansas are here today to share how critical it is for #ksleg to #FullyFundSPED & oppose vouchers. #LeadServeAdvocate

Did Senate Ed really take $70+ million out of the KSDE budget for SPED? We just had a joint committee to tell our KTOY candidates how much we appreciate everything they do! Actions speak louder than words! Know who you are voting for this election! #ksleg #fullyfundsped

We can’t fully fund Special Education or give our KPER retirees a COLA but we can give ourselves a 93% pay raise in ONE year?!!! #ksleg #fullyfundsped

SB 83 raises the 'low income' level 400% above federal poverty guidelines so families can receive a tax credit for sending their children to private schools. 90% of KS school-age children attend public schools. This bill will cost millions. #ksleg #ksed #fullyfundSped

Happy to be here to support our SMSD student Danny Robeson tonight at the Gov’s State of the State address. #fullyfundSPED #ksleg
