Editorial: Partisan roadblock in Kansas redistricting
The Kansas Legislature stalls on redrawing legislative and congressional maps, splitting communities and delaying work on KPERS, school finance and the budget. Despite Republican majorities, divisions persist over incumbency protection and conservative shifts, leaving candidates unsure where they will live under final maps. Accepting reasonable compromises to finalize the three maps would aid progress.

State board members defend Kansas Common Core position
State Board members rebut Dr. Chappell’s March letter urging lawmakers and local boards to block the Kansas Common Core Standards. They deny a cover up, cite gains in reading and math, and argue CCS were not federal impositions. They urge reliance on facts, not misrepresentations, and note local boards retain curriculum control.
