Even before the gubernatorial election campaign kicks off in earnest at the State Fair debate Saturday, the issue of K-12 education appears to be clear or at least outlined well enough by both Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and Democrat House Minority Leader Paul Davis, Lawrence, to put to bed.
If K-12 education is the sole issue for a gubernatorial vote—and there are teachers, parents, grandparents and property taxpayers out there who make their decisions based on education—it’s about over.
That leaves a lot of issues out there for the campaign, but practically, we know where the school issue stands between the candidates.
