Thank you to all those who ran, supported candidates, voted and encouraged others to vote! It was a great election for traditional candidates and for students and staff in districts across the state. If elections in your district didn’t go well, there’s another election in 2 years.

Four years ago, we did endorsements in school board races for the first time after seeing candidates across the state whose priorities were out of step with the needs of our public schools and the children they serve.

#Vouchers were removed from the federal budget bill, but now they're back in it. Contact Kansas Senator Moran at 202-224-6521 to urge removal of vouchers from the bill. #ksleg #ksed

The budget bill passed the House after an overnight session. The mainstream media isn’t talking much about the voucher provision so make sure our Senators know your opposition to it. Call both our Senators today!

Congratulations to KCMO public school students on the passage of a landmark school bond measure tonight 84.9% to 15.1%…absolutely amazing. First KCMO school bond since 1967 to pass. In fact, roads, public safety, public schools & firefighting were all winners tonight in the KC metro area

Feeling energized after the Chiefs' win? We've got an important bill we need our team to take action on! SB 75 gives a massive tax credit ($8,000 for accredited but not necessarily accredited by the state, $4,000 for non-accredited PER CHILD) to parents not sending their children to public school.
