Public Input Sought for New Education Commissioner
Kansas State Board of
Education Invites Public to Participate in Focus Groups as Search for New
Education Commissioner Begins
The Kansas State Board of Education
will host focus groups across the state to gather constituent input as the
search for Kansas’ new Commissioner of Education gets underway. Former Education
Commissioner Dr. Diane DeBacker submitted her resignation in April to accept a
position as the Advisor to the Director General of the Abu Dhabi Education
Council.
In the preliminary phase of the search
process, a series of focus groups will be conducted in several State Board
Districts to gather constituent feedback as to what they believe to be the most
critical educational issues in Kansas, and the experiences and skills they feel
are essential for this leadership position.
In Board District 4, Board member
Carolyn Wims-Campbell will conduct focus groups:
