Reading initiative failure sparks state budget proviso
The Kansas Legislature did not pass Gov. Sam Brownback's reading plan, but approved a proviso in the budget directing $12 million in grants to schools using Lexia Reading Core5 and selected via a statewide process run by Educational Design Solutions in Newton. Rep. Marc Rhoades and EDS are tied to the provision, drawing scrutiny from Sen. Laura Kelly who warns such earmarking is unusual.
