Organizers expect more than 1,000 people to turn out Tuesday for a school funding rally at the Statehouse.
The slogan for the event is "We want what's right, NOT what's left."
Gov. Mark Parkinson will speak at the rally along with Senate President Steve Morris, a Republican from Hugoton, and Sen. Tom Holland, a Democrat from Baldwin City. Two students from a Topeka-area school district and 2009 Kansas Teacher of the Year Cindy Couchman of Buhler will fill out the speaking lineup.
Organizer Christie Slay said in a news release that the goal of the event is to help lawmakers to understand that school cuts "hurt our kids and our communities."
The rally comes as the state faces the threat of a lawsuit from more than 70 of its 293 school districts over education funding cuts last year.
