Q1: Did he really say that...
Did Chairman Aurand really proclaim proudly that it was never his intention to work the due process bill in committee this year?
Q2: Due Process is...
The KS Supreme Court has said due process “does not confer special privileges” for teachers and it “empowers school boards”, but what is it really?
Q3: A Sham Hearing...
You’ve said Chairman Aurand gave a “sham hearing” on this bill earlier this week, what does that mean? What really happened?
Q4: Aurand's game...
Does Chairman Aurand have a gameplan to stifle this bill against the will of the committee? Is he afraid the committee will pass it out to the full House?
Q5: Bipartisan support...
You’ve said that this bill enjoys bipartisan support. Why is that?
Q6: Who said that...
It was suggested by two Representatives on the House Education Committee that teachers do not really want due process, who said that?
Q7: Impartial hearing...
We’ve heard KASB stood in opposition to this bill initially because it allows an impartial hearing officer to rule in these rare cases. What does that mean? NOTE: KASB officials have since offered assurance that they will push for a vote on this bill Monday.
Q8: War on teachers...
Is there really a “war on teachers”, is it impacting the ability to retain and recruit great teachers in Kansas?
Q9: Piper KS...
Is there an example of an instance when due process could’ve helped a great teacher keep their job?
