It is the final #WKCS of the year and we are with our partners @swplains in Garden City with over 150 students who are eager to learn about City/County Essential Careers! If you haven't explored www.startherestayhere.org, we recommend you do so! Plans for next year coming soon.



We asked, and you answered. 97% said "NO" public dollars should not go to private schools. When ESAs are used to transfer public dollars to private schools, voice, choice, and accountability are lost. Where do you really have choice? #edleadershipmatters



Our Aspiring Leaders are collaborating, networking, and learning a lot today as they talk about executive presence and even hold mock interviews. They are ending the day with a principal panel with leaders from @KSPrincipals. #edleadershipmatters



It is a great day in Topeka as over 20 Aspiring Principals are gathered to learn about the importance of being a school leader! The agenda is full this morning as folks talk about leadership & time management before hearing from a panel later this afternoon! #edleadershipmatters


Public dollars spent at public schools come with public accountability. ESA dollars sent to private schools come with much less accountability. Where do you want your dollars going? Check twitter tomorrow (2/29) for a poll with the results coming Fri. 3/1! #edleadershipmatters
