To our friends at Educate Lawrence, thank you for giving us the opportunity to speak to Lawrence community members along with Annie McKay of the Kansas Center for Economic Growth!

Here’s a quote from an article printed before the event: The Educate Lawrence event will walk through funding and other legislation affecting public schools and include two speakers: Annie McKay with the Kansas Center for Economic Development; and Judith Grote Deedy with the advocacy group Game on for Kansas Schools. McKay will chronicle funding prior to and during the block grants, and Deedy will discuss legislation trends and their effects. http://www2.ljworld.com/weblogs/first-bell/2016/feb/15/presentation-on-legislation-and-funding-/.

Educate Lawrence had this to say on Facebook, “A big shout out to Judith, Game On, Annie, and KCEG. The broad and clear message is that the future of our schools is intricately connected to tax policy and an independent judicial system.”
