Game On group will start walking for Kansas schools on Friday
Starting Friday and continuing through the weekend, supporters of public education in Kansas will be walking to show their support of education and raise awareness of what they say are attacks by state leaders on schools, teachers and courts.
Game On for Kansas Schools will start its fourth walk to Topeka on Friday from various locations and will conduct a final event Monday that will culminate with a rally at the Statehouse.
“We never intended to do four walks, but we have been compelled to do so as we watch our legislators pit urban and rural, wealthy and poor, and large and small districts against each other rather than addressing the real needs of our students across the state,” Game On for Kansas Schools said in a statement.
The non-partisan group urges parents, teachers, students and community leaders to walk during the event, even if it is only for a short distance.
Walking routes will start in Merriam, Emporia and Manhattan. There will be rallies on Saturday in Eudora and Lawrence. At 9 a.m. Monday, participants will march from across the street from Topeka High School to the Statehouse.
Game On for Kansas has been critical of Gov. Sam Brownback and legislative leaders on numerous school issues, including the current school finance system that has been declared unconstitutional by the Kansas Supreme Court.
