Conflict of interest bill could hit Kansas school boards
A proposed House Bill 2345 would disqualify any person with a substantial interest in state or local education businesses from serving on a school board or the State Board of Education and would extend to employees and their relatives in the same home. A Kansas Legislative Research Department survey of 1,130 school board members found about 40 percent would have at least one conflict under the bill. The Kansas Association of School Boards opposed further changes and indicated current statutes already address conflicts. the measure faces action in 2016.
