FACT CHECK FRIDAY!

Public dollars. Private schools. What’s the impact?

Programs like vouchers and Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) direct public tax dollars toward private education.

While these programs are often discussed in terms of “school choice” or “education freedom,” it’s also important to consider the funding tradeoff for public schools.
When public dollars are directed to private institutions, fewer resources are available for the students who remain in public schools. These programs also raise questions about public accountability and the impact on public education.

Understanding where education dollars go—and how those decisions affect public schools—matters.

Fact Check Friday

The 2009–10 school year was the last time the Kansas Legislature fully funded its share of special education costs with state dollars.

Since special education became a required service in all Kansas public schools in 1979, the Legislature is now funding the smallest share of special education costs in state history.

Knowing the facts is the first step toward informed conversations about education funding in Kansas.

Protecting Kansas public schools starts at the ballot box.

A NO vote on the constitutional amendment helps preserve the constitutional protections that have long supported funding for our public schools. Strong public schools mean opportunities for every child.

Make your voice heard. Vote NO and stand up for Kansas students, educators, and public education

Last fall, when educators rallied to secure a living wage for education support staff, Suzanne Wikle stood with us because she believes that one job should be enough and that strong public schools begin with supporting the people who make them work. Over the past two legislative sessions, she has consistently reached out to local educators to understand how proposed legislation would impact our jobs and Lawrence Public Schools. When it has mattered most, she has fought for the students, families, and educators of House District 10.

That is why we have supported Suzanne in this primary by knocking on doors, writing postcards, and talking with our neighbors. We believe that real support is measured by action—not simply by writing a check.

Please vote for Suzanne Wikle for House District 10!

After a great training by Kansas for All Action on how to canvas and talk to folks about election related items, we were able to put that knowledge to use by going out and canvassing for Suzanne Wikle for House District 10 and voting NO on the constitutional amendment to elect Kansas Supreme Court justices.

Another great night writing postcards for Suzanne Wikle for House District 10 and encouraging folks to also vote no on the constitutional amendment.
