Kansas teacher salary rise plan faces tough sale
Kansas State Board of Education endorses a three year 1.16 billion plan to raise teacher salaries toward the national average, boost grades and graduation rates, and improve minority performance.

The board argues higher pay will attract and retain teachers while urging broader funding for schools.
