Kansas could shift high school graduation requirements, lower English, Math & Science provisions

KANSAS (KCTV) - The Kansas Board of Education could change high school graduation requirements, but the discussion could continue for several more months. The Board has been listening to Education Commissioner Randy Watson's Graduation Requirements Task Force about a change for the last 15 months.

Now here's a scathing advert that offers a glimpse at the pitch to voters . . .
