KU student seeks seat on Lawrence school board
Small amount of competition is encouraging
By Sarah Morrison Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas education major is seeking a seat on the Lawrence School Board.
John E. West, Lawrence senior, filled last week to vie for one of four open seats in the school board election on April 4.
"There were not a lot of people jumping in the race early, and I was a little bit concerned," he said.
West, 29, said the small number of candidates running for positions on the board encouraged him to run.
Issues such as the new high school and quality performance accreditation need to be addressed by the
"Republicans promising less government usually mean smaller budgets, so there is just a lot coming up to deal with," he said.
school board, West said.
West, who has lived in Lawrence for five years, said studying education at the University gave him the experience necessary to address these issues.
"We are studying a lot of the issues that are current in education," he said.
In many of West's classes, instructors have brought in people who are directly involved with developing and implementing current education processes, so he has current information on the issues, West said.
One issue that West said concerned him is quality performance accreditation. It is a program in which schools are accredited on the basis of their output such as graduation rates or test scores instead of factors such as the number of books in the library or the square footage of the building, as was previously done.
West said he supported quality performance accreditation because it required schools to be more responsible for their students.
Another aspect of quality performance accreditation that West supports is the involvement of parents in the process of setting improvement goals for their children's schools. However, the process of goal setting requires a lot of staff time, and critics of the program say it is too expensive.
"I want to help maintain the high quality of education in Lawrence." West said. "I feel they have an excellent school district as it is."
West also cited his volunteer work at New York School as practical experience in the Lawrence School District that would benefit him as a member of the board.
West said a lack of funds would prevent him from campaigning. Yet based on the responses he has gotten from people since he filed for election, people seemed to know that he was running for the school board.
Kansas congressman, a reformist sees his moment for innovation
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Sam Brownback carries around a card containing a quote from Thomas Jefferson: "The moments for great innovation in society are few and far between."
Brownback is hoping this political moment lasts for a while.
The new 2nd District congressman believes voters said in November that they wanted elected officials to re-examine the federal government and cut its size dramatically. They said they wanted less government and lower taxes, Brownback believes.
But he is worried that voters won't let the Republican political revolution last too long.
"We have to move fast in making these cutbacks, before the inertia of Washington eats the revolution
alive," Brownback said in an interview Monday.
Brownback hopes to be in the thick of the cutting as a new member of the U.S. House Budget Committee. He had wanted a seat on the Ways and Means Committee, which sets tax policy.
He acknowledged that his refusal to sign fellow Republicans' "contract with America" during his campaign didn't help him with new House Speaker Newt Gingrich. He said he was not sure the nation can yet afford all of the tax cuts it promises.
But, he said, he believes Gingrich and others see him as a dedicated reformer. For example, he carried a proposal on the House floor to require an audit of the House's finances.
"I am clearly a reformist," he said.
"Brownback plans to vote for a protest."
posed constitutional amendment to require a balanced federal budget, and he would like for it to contain a clause that says Congress must have a super-majority to pass tax increases.
Brownback said voters showed in November that they were ready to reconsider the past 60 years of government growth. He said Americans and their political leaders had to determine what programs or services were best handled by the federal government, state governments and private business.
"To me, it's not a matter of doing more with less," Brownback said. "It really is a matter of doing less."
He added: "That will dramatically alter the relationship of the federal government to the people of America. We're going to have to cut the beast back, which I'm all for."
