Kansas Supreme Court affirms State Board of Education power to require local districts to adopt conduct rules for personnel and students and enforcement procedures. The ruling reverses a Marion County case brought by Peabody Unified SD 398, amid a 1966 constitutional education amendment shifting supervision to the state level. Justice Fromme dissents, arguing local control remains with locally elected boards under state supervision.
