The state of public education in Kansas

There is a newfound emphasis by legislators on education policy. There is a sense looking at the list of education bills that some state lawmakers feel they need to micromanage classrooms, from preschool through high school. To help with insights into this legislative evolution are Lauren Tice Miller, a Shawnee Heights School Board member and a lobbyist with the Kansas National Education Association, Michael Rebne, a teacher in the Kansas City, Kansas, public school district and a Roland Park City Council member, and Kathy Harrell, a Tonganoxie Middle School teacher.
