Roberts, visiting the school with U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Raymond Simon and University of Kansas Chancellor Robert Hemenway, told the Kansan education should be a higher priority on the national radar. “National security is our fundamental job, but when you talk to people, they are concerned about education,” he said. “They are worried about educational issues.
