Great public schools are just one pillar of strong communities. Community pillars require continued investments to remain strong. Travel around Kansas, and find a thriving community, you will also find a great public school.
Schools are the heart of our communities! They reflect our values, dreams, and aspirations.

Super excited to Welcome Alma to the KASB team!

Only in Kansas.
Mammatus clouds in Hugoton after the rain moved through today. Thank you, Susan Smith, for sending in the photo! Mammatus clouds are usually a sign of turbulence. They form as cold air sinks, creating the weird pouch-like shape of the cloud.

I was a biology major, regardless, #2 in this definition sure sounds like some of the bad legislation being pushed in ks bills, it is what it is… #ksleg #ksed #kasb
They’re #SchoolVouchers, no matter how many “hope” “opportunity” or “scholarship” words they want to slap on it.
Take a minute and read this, vouchers when applied to other systems sound even more ridiculous! #ksed #ksleg #kasb
Hey rural Kansans! Vouchers/ESAs are not just a problem for urban and suburban districts. KASB past President, sharing long term reality.⬇️⬇️#ksed #ksleg #kasb
I suspect that many of the people supporting these Voucher/ESA bills are going to have some regret when they figure out they are effectively going to consolidate rural schools. #ThinkAboutIt #ksleg #ksed
This 👇 is not good for building a strong public education system that benefits ALL students!

This was a great conversation between elected officials at the state and local level, with the same objective strengthening public schools. #ksed #kasb #ksleg
