Issue Position: Invest in Quality Public Education

Issue Position

As a proud product of Blue Valley Schools, Lindsay knows first-hand the value of our high-quality public education system. In 2019, our legislature finally restored school funding to constitutional levels. Unfortunately, this does not undo the consequences of a long history of underfunding, and there are still those in the legislature that would like to roll back the progress we have made.

Lindsay believes our students and teachers deserve the best. We need to invest in all levels of education, from early childhood and special education through higher education and job training. Lindsay wants to ensure students of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to live robust lives and participate in the global economy. This means supporting the Kansas Children's Cabinet's Strategic Plan for early childhood education across the state and increasing special education funding. This also includes increasing teacher pay and making state university salaries competitive again, as well as restoring due process for teachers.
