The Kansas State Board of Education received an update on the progress of the vision during a meeting Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2017.

Two years ago, the Kansas State Board of Education launched a new vision for Kansas education — Kansas leads the world in the success of each student. Board members on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2017, received an update on the progress the state has made toward that goal.

The Kansas State Board of Education will conduct its next monthly meeting Oct. 17 and 18 in the Board Room (Suite 102) of the Landon State Office Building, 900 SW Jackson, Topeka.

School bus drivers play an important role in the safety of Kansas’ students. To honor them, Gov. Sam Brownback has proclaimed Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2017, as School Bus Drivers’ Appreciation Day.
