Governor Kelly Tours Topeka Elementary and Middle School, Participates in Roundtable Discussion on Importance of Fully Funding Special Education Programs

Governor Kelly Meets Students

?Before I took office, our public schools were not getting the funds they needed for our students to thrive. I?m proud of the work we?ve done to fully fund public education for four years in a row, but we can?t leave a single student behind.?Every student deserves resources and support to succeed in the classroom. My budget puts Kansas on track to fully fund special education for the first time in over a decade. We owe it to our students to fully fund special education.?
