Kansas is a “sanctuary State”

Kansas Representative Ryckman,

.

Five years ago when aggressive Kansas school funding caught our attention, we literally spent hundreds of hours researching, compiling and sharing historical data. Not used by anyone then and likely not used again. Illegal immigration is still an ugly subject to discuss openly. But we will try again in support of the time we have already spent.

.

For your use, information and ideas.

.

When we looked at the raw data available for Kansas schools, one could easily conclude that we are paying for student needs that don’t exist on paper in the legislative requests. A great deal of money is provided by Districts K-12 for required learning in languages other than English. One ELL (English Language Learner) per District requires native language employee/educator to provide the equivalent for all classes/subjects K-12 with no requirement the ELL student ever become educated in English. Kansas records show over 100 different languages taught for K-12. http://nolathe.net/2010/12/23/how-to-spend-271573451-that-you-dont-have/

.

Also of interest, Kansas does not refer to providing an education to children of illegal immigrants. In Kansas we educate children of “Migrant Workers”. http://nolathe.net/2010/12/26/kansas-education-dollars-and-the-grapes-of-wrath/

.

This also requires the School District to provide free breakfasts, free lunches, free healthcare, free before school care, free after school care, free Summer daycare, etc. http://nolathe.net/2010/12/26/kansas-education-dollars-and-the-grapes-of-wrath/

.

And we pay to make sure the migrant workers know about this information. http://ksmigrant.org/

Over-all impact on school funding observation: 2001-2009 Kansas student population DECREASED by 2.8% but funding INCREASED by 155.9% /nolathe.net/2010/12/28/the-kansas-oopps-moment-and-five-year-penalty/

Please do not deny that Kansas is a “sanctuary State“.
