Get StartedThe State Board of Education has adopted higher academic standards to better prepare our students for success after high school. We need equal focus on helping our students attain non-academic skills in order to be successful in the workforce. More students must complete some post-secondary education in order to meet our workforce needs. Learn more
We need to ensure that Kansas children have access to quality preschools and all-day kindergarten. Additionally, we need to change school culture to ensure that a technical education is valued equally to the pursuit of a 4-year college degree. School counselors and social workers need to be able to focus on helping individual students explore their career paths and help them develop individual plans of study. And finally, Jim believes we need to see a stronger focus on business involvement in the classroom and student involvement in community service. Learn more
