A collection of Kansas education insiders will come together on April 8th, 2017, to bring the education community and pro-public education Kansans together to explore:

  • What is the current status of public education locally,
    statewide, and nationally?
  • What is the legal status of the funding of public education
    in the State?
  • How worried should educators–and those who care about educators–be about the security of Kansas Teachers’
    retirement savings?
  • What is the “Every Student Succeeds Act” and how is it
    being implemented in Kansas
  • What specific actions can Kansans take to stand up for
    Public Education?
  • What elections are upcoming and what is the process,
    as well as pros and cons, of running for elected office?
