FYI - Today, the currently appointed US Dept Educ Secretary urged states to redirect federal funding for K12 at-risk students and re-allocate for private school tuition vouchers. @KsPTALeg @SMAC_PTA @GameOnKansas @KASBPublicEd @USAKansas

The KS legislature is making final changes to the state budget, including the allocation to K12 public schools. Bottom line - state aid for KS students is short by hundreds of millions. #ksleg @KsPTALeg @SMAC_PTA @GameOnKansas @KASBPublicEd @USAKansas

Good evening! Crowd gathers in 112N for evening Appropriations meeting. I won’t post unless/until a K12 item arises. #ksleg

Public funding for private tuition is returning to the Kansas legislature this session. Understand who benefits and who doesn't by joining this #JoCo Town Hall with @joshcowenMSU, @GameOnKansas and @leahfliter.
Due to House members having to be in Topeka on Sunday, there’s been a format change for our town hall. Thanks to @cindy4kansas for carrying. #ksleg #ksed

Today we celebrate Special Education Day!!
Special Education Day was first celebrated in 2005 which was the 30th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. President Gerald Ford signed the law on November 29, 1975.

I hope we can add a statement opposing vouchers to our #OPKS legislative program when we consider it again November 4. Not only are strong schools good for kids, they are great for our local economy -- attracting employers and employees! xitter.cf/MelissaCinOP/status/18…
Tried to add the following statement to City of #OPKS platform last night: "The City opposes the use of public tax funds to subsidize private education”.
That's the same as the OP Chamber's platform. My motion failed 2-4. Thanks to C.M. Borlaza for supporting our public schools!

“What if ‘parent choice’ ‘ school freedom’ isn’t about those things at all? What if it’s really about ending free public education and shifting 100% of the financial responsibility to parents?” @KsPTALeg

#ksed, when you hear #ksleg candidates talk about “education freedom”, they’re talking about Arizona-style vouchers. Vote accordingly.
Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, has spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it’s now facing hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects.
