SPED photo
?I?m proud of the work we?ve done here in Kansas to fully fund our public schools. But special education is still not fully funded, in part because our partners in Washington have not delivered the federal funding they promised for special education services. Now, I?m joining our Legislative leaders in calling on Congress to fulfill its promise and to do better by our students, parents, and teachers.?

"Nearly all of us will be impacted by cancer at some point in our lives, whether that?s receiving a diagnosis ourselves or supporting family and friends through treatment. The Kansas Cancer Plan is a call to action that reflects a year and a half of hard work, research, and sustained engagement to improve the lives of Kansans. I thank everyone who contributed to this important blueprint for how we can advance uniquely Kansan solutions to combat this terrible disease.?
