Education issues have had an unusually prominent role in this year’s Kansas legislative session. Lawmakers have considered a wide range of measures that could have major impacts on schools for years to come — like "school choice" and the rights of parents, as well as who can play on what sports teams.
KCUR’s Brian Ellison spoke with Suzanne Perez, who covers education for the Kansas News Service, about what the Legislature has done so far, and what remains to be done.
