Dear Teacher, Your kids missed you. Not your classroom. Not your content. They missed you. You did that. No easy thing to be what kids need. But it’s less-hard when all they need is you (to be you). Let that be the lift you need tomorrow. Sincerely, Not-So-Secret Admirer

Ousley acknowledges negotiations and said she's glad there will be a neutral third party doing fact-finding. "I know this process has been very stressful for everyone" – Yes, Heather, especially the teachers whose salaries aren't keeping up with the cost of living.

Seriously? 250:1 is NOT ideal either!
What you should know from the social-emotional state-level outcome presentation to the state board: Kansas' student to counselor ratio is 468:1, the American School Counselor Association recommends a ratio of 250:1 for ideal student engagement and success.
