March 20, 2013 By Shane Vander Hart

2nd Update: There will be a hearing TOMORROW (March 21st) at 12:00 PM Room 112-N of the Kansas State Capitol.

Update: Ok, evidently the bill is now back in the Education Committee.  I’m not sure what that means.

Here are the members of the education committee.

  • Rep. Kasha Kelley (Chair)
  • Rep. Ward Cassidy (Vice Chair)
  • Rep. Ed Trimmer (Ranking Minority Member)
  • Rep. Sue Boldra
  • Rep. John Bradford
  • Rep. Carolyn Bridges
  • Rep. Diana Dierks
  • Rep. Willie Dove
  • Rep. John Ewy
  • Rep. Shanti Gandhi
  • Rep. Amanda Grosserode
  • Rep. Dennis Hedke
  • Rep. Ron Highland
  • Rep. Roderick Houston
  • Rep. Jerry Lunn
  • Rep. Nancy Lusk
  • Rep. Kelly Meigs
  • Rep. Melissa Rooker
  • Rep. Valdenia Winn

Original: I was emailed by a reader in Kansas about the status of the anti-Common Core bill currently active in the Kansas Legislature.  HB 2289 has been moved from the Kansas House Education Committee to the House Committee on Appropriations.  According to one of the bill’s sponsor, State Representative John Bradford (R-Lansing) they were up against calendar deadlines for introducing legislation and this was a way to keep the bill moving forward.

I was told that they may be discussing and voting on this by the end of the week, so it is important that Kansans are heard.  Here is the list of members of the committee.

  • Rep. Marc Rhoades (Chair)
  • Rep. Gene Suellentrop (Vice Chair)
  • Rep. Jerry Henry (Ranking Minority Member)
  • Rep. Barbara Ballard
  • Rep. Sydney Carlin
  • Rep. Richard Carlson
  • Rep. Ward Cassidy
  • Rep. Dave Crum
  • Rep. Pete DeGraaf
  • Rep. Nile Dillmore
  • Rep. Bob Grant
  • Rep. Amanda Grosserode
  • Rep. Kyle Hoffman
  • Rep. Mark Hutton
  • Rep. Mark Kahrs
  • Rep. Kasha Kelley
  • Rep. Marvin Kleeb
  • Rep. Harold Lane
  • Rep. Jerry Lunn
  • Rep. Virgil Peck
  • Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr.
  • Rep. Sharon Schwartz
  • Rep. Brian Weber

Campbell’s Law

"The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor."
