Bill to Eliminate High School Activities Association
Kansas House Education Committee proposes a bill to abolish the Kansas State High School Activities Association. It would ban schools paying dues from activity funds or funding private groups, create a division within the state board of education to oversee interschool activities, and cites concerns over arbitration by the association. Rep. Marvin Cox led the bill with an 8-3 vote. The KSHSAA commissioner argues the body is a school run clearing house for interschool activity decisions.
