TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Republican legislators in Kansas are pushing a redistricting plan that the state Senate's top GOP leader hopes will move the state school board to the right.
A Senate committee approved a bill Tuesday to redraw the districts for the 10-member elected State Board of Education after a decade of population shifts across Kansas.
Lawmakers expect to give final approval this week to new lines for board districts and for their own districts. Republicans hold a 6-4 board majority but the board is less conservative than the Legislature.
And Senate President Ty Masterson says more conservatives on the board would lead to a "more vibrant" debate about education policy.
