Education Board Split Shapes Kansas Overhaul
The House Education Committee chair says the panel is evenly split on partisan versus nonpartisan schooling boards as lawmakers work on mechanics of the November approved overhaul. Sen. John Bower notes a decision next week, with a citizen advisory panel urging governor appointments from nonpartisan district commissions. A separate issue arises as Sen. Glee Smith introduces a bill to raise state deposit reserve rates, a campaign issue for Governor Robert Docking, aiming to generate about $6.5 million annually.
