School board conflict of interest bill stalls in House
Kansas lawmakers heard House Bill 2345 proposing to bar anyone with a relative or direct interest in education or district contracts from serving on a school board. Rep. Ron Highland indicated no action this session, citing limited support and concerns from superintendents about current recusal rules and potential broad disqualification. Proponent Chris Brown urged action for integrity, while officials argued current laws and recusal requirements already address conflicts.
