Will you be an education voter this November? Will your family and friends?
“Kansas mom Heather Ousley was incensed by the school finance bill the Kansas legislature passed last spring. Legislators acted under the cover of darkness to add late-night amendments that had nothing to do with making sure that all Kansas students have access to a great public school.
“One amendment removed due process for educators, who can now be fired without even a hearing. Another amendment established tax credits of up to $10 million for corporations that make donations to scholarships for religious and unaccredited private schools.
“’Our state elections couldn’t be more important than they are this year,’ says Ousley, who is also a co-founder of the parent group Game On for Kansas Schools. ‘We simply have to elect a new group of people to work with, people who truly value public education and won’t divert public funds to corporate interests.’”
