<div>Hi all, I’m attaching a link below to an editorial that appeared in the Lawrence Journal World this week. Kris Kobach is running for governor in Kansas, and he has some proposals for education. These ideas seem to go hand-in-hand with the proposals of
the Secretary of Ed, Betsy DeVos. Basically, they are proposing that funding will be cut for low-performing schools. (They want that funding to go to private schools.) We all need to be vigilant to ensure that low test scores produced by a school are used
as signals for ensuring that empirically validated instructional programs be used in that school versus reducing the funding for that school. Just my two cents!! </div>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">isn't better off because of something you've done.</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">And no matter what you do, or don't do, with the rest of your life, </div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">you cannot now comprehend the amounts of love, joy, and personal </div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">assistance that are already being pressed out to you in gratitude.” </div>
