Recently, Mark Tallman, KASB Associate Executive Director of Educational Advocacy, visited six school districts across Kansas that are setting the bar for student achievement. 

Whether it’s overcoming challenges to exceed expectations or preparing students for real life, Tallman writes about how our Kansas public schools are succeeding. 

This is the second series from Tallman that delves deep into the work of teachers, parents, administrators, and school board members to drive student success. 

Tallman once again shows how community members working together bring out the best in one another in service to our most valuable resource – our young Kansas students.  

Here are links to the stories that, when complete, will focus on five different districts: 

• Topeka USD 501
• Frontenac USD 249 
• Baxter Springs USD 508
• Labette County USD 506
• Geary County USD 475
