Forum warns TABOR would strike at Kansas schools
About 50 teachers administrators and school board members heard education advocates argue against TABOR at a Garden City forum. Kansas NEA director Mark Desetti said limiting state spending to inflation would damage districts especially in staffing budgets and teacher pay. He noted Kansas ranks in the bottom tier for salaries despite wage growth since 1992 while districts must keep pay above inflation to retain staff. The event was part of a 17 campus series titled Stronger Schools Stronger Communities.
