Its structure is driven by federal legislation, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 plain language version ), even though appropriations for that program are not the largest source of revenue for employment and training services in Kansas. Advisory Responsibilities By Executive Order 01-06 , Governor Bill Graves designated the Workforce Network of Kansas Board as the state workforce investment board. By design, the Board is an advisory body consisting of 35 members appointed by the Governor. WIA mandates the ideal state workforce investment board membership structure. Over fifty percent of the membership of the Board must come from private industry. The balance of the board members represent government, education, community based organizations and labor. The Board meets five times each year, rotating the location of their meetings between the

Gov. John Kitzhaber praised the final product of a tumultuous six_month debate about faith healing, saying that it will minimize unnecessary deaths and illness. Legislators have struggled to come up with a bill that respects religious freedom while guaranteeing children adequate medical care. "It's a very difficult and emotional issue," Kitzhaber said, signing House Bill 2494 before a group of about 20 supporters. The law takes effect immediately. HB2494 was one of hundreds of bills sent to the governor by the 1999 Legislature. Kitzhaber has already vetoed 44 of them and is expected to issue a "hit_list" today with some 35 bills, satisfying a law that he give at least five days' notice before acting. Kitzhaber is on a veto pace that likely will set a record, beating his 1995 mark of 52.

84. University Of Kansas Chancellor Opposes State Board Of Education Decision

    Extractions: For a response to this article, click HERE The Kansas Board of Education decided in August to impose upon the rest of us in the state its doubts about evolution, its aversion to scientific explanations for the origins of the universe, and its disbelief in geological evidence for the age of the earth. Kansas is a proud and progressive state with good schools, common-sense government, and an excellent system of higher education. It is neither as flat nor as unsophisticated as some people claim. Today, many Kansans are working busily to protect Kansas schoolchildren from the poor science of the Board of Education. What happened in Kansas is relatively straightforward. In 1998, the state Board of Education appointed a blue-ribbon committee of 27 scientists, educators, and other citizens to prepare standards to guide the teaching of science in the state's public schools. The committee created a 100-page draft document, using standards prepared by the National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Science Teachers Association, and other reputable scientific groups. With the board's approval, the committee held hearings on the draft standards at public forums. Last summer, the committee submitted the final draft of its standards to the board. That version, however, was quickly superseded by new drafts written by some members of the board.

    Extractions: by William K. Piotrowski Long before the Kansas evolution debate captured the attention of the national news media last summer, the Kansas City Star Back in April, she tracked the creation of Parents for Objective Science and History (POSH) in the university town of Lawrence, Kansas. ("It started when Ellen and Joel Barber found out that their kindergartner was learning about evolution.") She reported on the "moderate-conservative" divide on the state school board, which was charged with overseeing the creation of new state standards for science instruction. And when the 27 scientists responsible for drafting the standards named evolution as one of five major scientific concepts that Kansas students should be taught and tested on, she caught the echo of the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial: "More than 70 years after Tennessee science teacher John Scopes was convicted of violating the state’s law against teaching evolution, the debate over the theory continues." Since "creation science" was introduced into the debate in the 1960s, anti-evolutionists have fought an increasingly uphill battle in the courts. Two U.S. Supreme Court rulings

    Extractions: By DAVID MILES TOPEKA, Kansas (AP) A decade ago, the biggest complaint about the Kansas Board of Education was that no one knew exactly what it did or who served on it. A lack of visibility isn't the board's problem now, after its approval last year of new science testing standards that de-emphasize evolution. The decision has become the hottest issue in Kansas politics, with unprecedented attention and spending in the campaigns for board seats. The Aug. 1 primaries are crucial because the makeup of the board could decide the fate of the science standards; five of the 10 board seats will be filled in the November election. Conservative Republicans in 1999 led the board in its 6-4 vote to approve the standards, with moderate Republicans and Democrats dissenting. The standards, which are not mandatory for school districts to follow, play down the importance of evolution and omit the Big Bang theory of the universe's origin. Sue Gamble is challenging incumbent board member Linda Holloway, the board's chairwoman when it made the decision. Gamble says students will be negatively affected by the new standards. "They are depriving kids of information that they need to be competitive at the college level," says Gamble, a member of the Shawnee Mission school board. "A good, solid science curriculum would include evolution."

    Extractions: by Barb Prater, President of Kansas Association of Teachers of Science Visit the for more science-related content. An external review had been received with favorable criticisms and our outlook was positive as we headed for Kansas Board of Education public hearings, starting in January in various locations throughout the state. Members of the writing team were present only to record input from the public, but could not speak or make statements. We were truly not prepared for the onslaught of hate and emotional name-calling, repeated at every hearing. A small but very vocal group was trying to put forth their own agenda to have not only the concept of evolution removed from the standards, but to change the very nature of science itself. The writing committee continued to work on making conciliatory changes in the drafts, while retaining the integrity of the concepts. Last summer the committee submitted the final 100-page draft to the state Board of Education. In the meantime, Steve Abrams, a KBOE member with the help of a creationist group from Missouri called, Creation Science Association for Mid-America, took our second draft and rewrote it to fit their particular viewpoint. It eliminated references to evolution, change over time, origin of the universe, geologic time, biological diversity, and adaptation of plants and animals. The nature of science was rewritten, even to the point of emphasizing inductive thinking over deductive thinking, terms and concepts were redefined, and references for famous scientists and scientific achievements of the past were removed. There were changes and deletions to every page of the writing committee's draft.

After Plessy educational facilities for blacks in most southern states were always in separate schools and buildings but never equal. Salaries for black teachers, supplies for black schools, and transportation for black students were much inferior to those for whites. In many cases, such as high schools for blacks, no public facilities existed at all.

    Extractions: By Laura Rozen M any Kansans were shocked when they opened their newspapers last month to learn that the Kansas Board of Education had voted 6 to 4 to remove the teaching of evolution from the state's science standards and that, overnight, they had become the nation's laughingstock. But the decision came as no surprise to Tim Golba. An anti-abortion activist, Golba has spent the past decade running political action seminars across the state for Kansans for Life, teaching fellow Christian conservatives in the state how to gain political power. This past November, Golba's work paid off, as Christian conservatives took control of the Kansas Board of Education, paving the way for the Aug. 11 school board decision, which in effect gives Kansas' 308 local school boards the choice of whether to include the teaching of evolution in their science curricula. While that political victory has encouraged Christian conservatives in Kansas and other states, it has also galvanized their political opponents. But they're left playing catch-up, years behind Golba.

The Kansas Board of Education has adopted new standards for teaching biology that critics say will virtually eliminate any consideration of evolution from the science curriculum in the state's public schools. Republican Governor Bill Graves called the action by the Kansas Board of Education "a terrible, tragic, embarrassing solution to a problem that didn't exist." The action by the education board, on a 6-4 vote, is among the most far-reaching victories yet for the so-called creationist movement, which rejects the scientific concept of evolution in favor of a biblical view of the world as only a few thousand years old, and which teaches that each species was created separately by a divine being.

Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. Aware of the gravity of the issue and concerned with the possible political and social repercussions, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case argued on three separate occasions in as many years. The Court weighed carefully considerations involving adherence to legal precedent, social-science findings on the negative effects of segregation, and the marked inferiority of the schools that African Americans were forced to attend. The Supreme Court announced its unanimous decision on May 17, 1954. It held that school segregation violated the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. The following year the Court ordered desegregation "with all deliberate speed."
