SDUSA, KS believes our students and teachers deserve the best. we know improving the education system has to be a two-part plan. One plan should focus on how we are going to improve K-12. The second one is higher education – that’s community college, trade schools, public universities – people don’t talk about that at all.
The VA did a study on Chapter 35 and the GI bill, and what they found out is that for every $1 we spend on college for veterans, we get $7 back over their lifetime in taxes of that person. We support tuition-free public college, and the way to set that up is having a 50k scholarship fund that will follow the student for life.
Kansas should invest in funding post high school education. People of Kansas should at least receive free trade school or community college. This will enable people to stay in Kansas and give back to the Kansas economy more because they’ll have the skills to receive more pay. This would also break cycles of poverty, as education is the best way to get out of poverty.
