Kansas seeks waiver extension under No Child Left Behind model
Kansas education officials plan to request more time to extend their waiver from No Child Left Behind. The U S Department of Education has placed Kansas at high risk for losing the waiver due to limited steps using student growth data in teacher evaluations. Final guidelines must be set by May 1 to maintain the waiver. In Topeka Gov Brownback’s administration expects federal permission soon to add long term services for Kansans with developmental disabilities to KanCare on Feb 1 after changes to Medicaid managed care. The Brown v Board site in Topeka plans King Day events including performances readings and art exhibits with free activities for the public.

The bill would narrow appeal scope and time to raise grievances, building on frustration over years of stalled cases including the Carr brothers and Cheever rulings.
