Education
Growing up in an extended family of educators, school and advanced education was a daily fact of life for Tim Johnson. Coming from a Swedish-American family that highly prized education as a way to improve financial and social status, taking advantage of educational opportunities was a must.
One of Mr. Johnson's guiding principals in education is that no two students learn the same way and that just throwing money at education is not the answer. Well funded academic programs are a must,​ but he believes Kansas must be sure that we support diversified programs such as Career-Technical-Education and Community College vocational and certification programs throughout the state.

Because of his own desire to benefit from educational opportunities, Tim Johnson has completed graduate degrees at both Wichita State in Criminal Justice and at Pittsburg State in Education and an undergraduate degree at Bethany College in Lindsborg.
