Statehouse Live: Republican leaders considering constitutional change to thwart school finance ruling
Hey Susan.....if the court would have ruled that current funding was enough would you still be trying to change the Constitution?

Do you agree with a Kansas court's ruling that the Legislature is not suitably funding schools?
This poll shows an overwhelmingly percentage of people agreeing that our Legislature, OUR ELECTED LEGISLATORS, are not suitably funding schools. Please don't rely on a poll to sway those people we've put in office. CALL your representative, email your representative, text your representative, and tell them to fund our schools!

Court: Kansas Legislature's level of funding for schools unconstitutional
What's the over/under for Dave Trabert, a.k.a. Koch's talking puppet, to show up here and tell us how this is wrong? One hour? Two hours?

New House Education Committee chairwoman sees busy session ahead with finance, collective bargaining issues
Just curious, how common is it for someone who has never served on a committee before to be appointed chairman of that committee?

Sound Off: Armed guards in school
One thing I think a lot of people are forgetting. After Columbine, many schools did start hiring resource officers/security guards for their schools. When the budget cuts started hitting about 6 years ago, those were usually the first things cut by many districts. Something to keep in mind the next time you hear about schools costing so much of our state budget.

Retired public employees seeking cost of living adjustment
What difference does it make if they're still working and also collecting their pension? They earned the pension, they should get it. What they do from the time they retire on is up to them and their employer.

Sound Off: School security
There have been two school shootings in the past 12 years. Columbine, which had armed security guards present. .....and this latest one in Connecticut that had a security system that you had to be "buzzed in" at a door. Both are things that people are screaming about that we need in ALL schools now. Doesn't anyone see the irony of that??

Sound Off: School security
There have been way more people killed with fertilizer and box knives than there have been children killed in school shootings. Where's your cry to outlaw those?
