Not shocked that Rep. Paul Waggoner had something to do with this. Probst has proven himself to be someone who works across the aisle. That is what we need in Topeka.

A GOP #Patriot calls for GOP candidate Kyler Sweely running for #KSLeg HD102 to drop out. There are some Republicans that want to #DoTheRightThing

I’ve been asked to write about why I have chosen to stick it out education and this has really caused me to do some deep thinking. I hold no judgement on teachers who have decided to leave. If youve chosen to stay, what’s your reason?.

No matter how the #ksed budget turns out tonight, we cannot forget that there is a concerted effort to undermine our local schools. It is textbook policy that you can find in many states like IA, NH, OK, NE etc. Kansans want and expect quality public schools. Period. #ksleg

You can be a Republican or Democrat and still choose to support your community public school. Representative Younger has walked the walk. His expertise and experience should be considered. Put your communities first. Help us help our students. #ksed #ksleg.

Rep. @davidlyounger did an excellent job earlier today explaining several of the biggest flaws with the policy crammed into House Sub for SB 387 (the Frankenstein K-12 education budget bill). Please watch and share. #ksleg #ksed

Today in the #ksleg the Chairperson of the K-12 Education Budget Committee compared educators to teenage drivers who need rules and regulations. Another attempt to discredit educators/ justify bad policy. We can do better than this. Pass a clean funding bill. #ksed

Until leaders in the #ksleg stop putting the Kansas Policy Institute ahead of educational leaders in Kansas, we will not find solutions to concerns in education. It’s that simple. But it doesn’t seem to fit the narrative. #ksed.

Yep. Those private prep schools already have nearly full classrooms. All students deserve quality public schools in their neighborhoods. An investment in those neighborhood schools is an investment in the future sustainability of the community. #ksleg #ksed.

School vouchers just died in Idaho - in part because the sales pitch is colliding w/ the reality of what's happening in other states. These programs are budget busters that pick up the tab for affluent parents who already send their kids to private schools

If it looks like a voucher and smells like a voucher, it’s a voucher. How ‘bout the #ksleg does its job to #fullyfundsped.

WOW, #ksed! Fiscal Note just released for voucher bill SB 509. It would divert $240+ MILLION from public schools to private schools and home schools with NO accountability. #ksleg 🚨
