From Kansas PTA: Kansas PTA supplied testimony in opposition to SB171 which would make school board elections partisan. Opponents got less than 20 minutes to testify while those in favor of the bill got nearly an hour to testify. Legislators should be willing to hear both sides of the issue and not push through their own agenda. Is your legislator hearing from you on these issues? Kansas PTA believes in non partisan elections. Kansas PTA also believes in transparency in government and more than 24 hour turnaround time to prepare testimony on these very important bills being rushed through the legislature.
