Kansas State Board of Education race updates evolves stance
McNiece, Horst Deena, Kathy Busch, Steve Roberts, and Carolyn Campbell seek board seats in Kansas races. McNiece, a longtime Wichita principal, backs evolution teaching and NCLB waiver while awaiting new teacher evaluation rules. Horst aims for middle ground on science standards and education funding. Busch favors growth measures over fixed tests and supports Next Generation Standards with cautious evaluation ties. Roberts emphasizes great teachers over strict standards and merit pay ideas. Campbell retains seat supporting evolution and waiver, focusing on narrowing achievement gaps. The five board members face sworn-in on January 8.
