In the words of Steve Kraske of the Kansas City Star, “We truly stand at that fork in the road that will determine the shape of public education, tax policy and the level of services the state supplies for years, and maybe decades, to come.”
If you believe in giving our children the best public education possible, either because you want your progeny to have the ability to reach their highest potential, or because you realize that today’s children will drive tomorrow’s economy, it is time to stay informed and to act. Here are some links to guide you on that path:
