Education cuts

To the editor:

It is unacceptable for the Legislature to contemplate cutting the appropriations to education even further. To do so would be to fail to reinforce the school boards, such as ours in Lawrence, which dealt imaginatively with the draconian cuts made already.

One of the very impressive aspects of our school board’s decisions was the independence of thought as it led us in the best possible direction for our schools. Now the Legislature must do likewise. Let them put aside the order “don’t raise taxes” and think of what is best for the state of Kansas.
