Dowling bill would overhaul Kansas education governance
A proposed bill by AV Dowling of Norton county would abolish the present state board of education and related agencies and form a new nine member state board elected from eight congressional districts plus the state superintendent. The board would hold absolute power over accreditation, funding, and staffing for all Kansas education institutions, with regular weekly meetings and hefty salaries, while restricting student aid and enforcing a rigid eligibility rule.
