Here’s a chart showing multiple ALEC education bills were introduced in Kansas and other states in 2013. These bills are not organic solutions for issues in Kansas but are part of a national agenda to de-fund public education and divert precious resources to schools that don’t serve all children and the private and corporate interests behind them, while at the same time weakening teachers’ unions. We note this list is under-inclusive as Kansas’ Innovative School District legislation is missing as well as the mis-named Payroll Protection Act which appears on a different chart but applies to teachers as well. http://www.publicschoolshakedown.org/ALEC-Education-Bills-2013
