State Board News - Special Edition

June 29, 2005

Following an hour of executive session to discuss the two finalists for Kansas Commissioner of Education, the State Board returned to open session, passed a motion to approve end-of-year Board travel and adjourned. There was no motion related to hiring a Commissioner.

When questioned following the meeting, Board members indicated that the Policy Committee (Ken Willard, Bill Wagnon and Connie Morris) will review the search process and bring a new recommendation back to the Board at a future meeting.
