Subject: Please oppose SB 61
Please oppose passage of SB 61. The Kansas Constitution guarantees an excellent education to every Kansas child. By sending tax dollars to fund private educational institutions that are not required to adhere to the same standards of excellence, of reporting, and of non-discrimination as public schools, Kansas is breaking that promise.
Instead, please fully fund public education, which is still not funded even to the level it was a decade ago.
Please reject SB 61. Thank you.
