Unification plan outlined by Franklin County groups
The Kansas Association of School Boards, Kansas Congress of Parents and Teachers, and Kansas State Teachers' Association back ordered unification to give all residents a voice in education. A six member unified district board would govern, hire a superintendent, clerk, and treasurer, with elections by sub districts and general district votes. Debts stay with the district that incurred them, taxes and salaries would shift to the unified system, and one central office could reduce duplication while equalizing tax loads across areas.
