Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Public schools are the foundation of our economy and must be fully funded. As an independent piano teacher, Linda works with students that attend public, parochial, private and home schools. She has witnessed students in all of these settings benefit from public school classes and special services.

Controlling the cost of in state higher education is a priority for Linda. The Brownback tax experiment increased college tuition dramatically while at the same time reduced needed funds for building maintenance. In order to compete with out of state schools, we need to keep our Kansas universities in first rate form to attract top students from within and outside of the state. Strong universities beget a strong workforce which begets a strong Kansas economy.
