The efficiency committee created in HB 2506 had its first meeting July 18. KASB’s Mark Tallman offers good advice:

“The commission has an important role for the simple fact that money will always be limited, and educational needs to continue to grow. The Kansas Constitution requires a system of public schools for ‘intellectual, educational, vocational and scientific improvement.’ The goal should be finding ways to provide the best educational results for Kansas students. In other words, don’t forget that ‘Performance’ comes before ‘Efficiency’ in the commission’s title.”
