Kansas Gov Signs Bill Removing Teacher Due Process
Kansas educators warn of fear in classrooms after Gov. Sam Brownback signs Senate Substitute for House Bill 2506 aimed at closing the school funding gap. The measure, praised by backers, also removes tenure rights for teachers, a move decried by Megan Morris of Ottawa Education Association as a devastating blow to students and retention. The bill follows a state Supreme Court order to fix inequities between districts. Districts must adjust capital outlay and local option funds, while teachers lose due process protections enacted since 1957. Local opposition from unions and lobby groups highlighted uncertainty over Brownback's decision.
