Invocation by Chaplain Hollomon:

Heavenly Father,

On this first day of the session, before things get too hectic; before the woods get
mixed up with the trees; and the days and nights all run together, help me to beware
of those pitfalls which can blur my moral vision:

Let me not be impressed with a pile of statistics

more than I am with a child who's autistic;

Nor be more interested in the latest poll

than a homeless family out in the cold;

Nor get so caught up in playing the game

I have no time for the blind and the lame;

In other words, O God . . .

Not get so intent on reaching the stars

I don't even notice the people with scars.

I pray in the Name of Christ,

AMEN

By Special Committee on Education

A PROPOSITION to amend section 2 of article 6 of the constitution of the state of Kansas,
relating to the state board of education.

Be it resolved by the Legislature of the State of Kansas, two-thirds of the members elected
(or appointed) and qualified to the Senate and two-thirds of the members elected (or
appointed) and qualified to the House of Representatives concurring therein:

Section 1. The following proposition to amend the constitution of the state of Kansas
shall be submitted to the qualified electors of the state for their approval or rejection: Section
2 of article 6 of the constitution of the state of Kansas is hereby amended to read as follows:
``§2. State board of education and state board of regents. (a) The legislature
shall provide for a state board of education ~~which shall have~~ and for its general
supervision of public schools, educational institutions and all the educational interests
of the state, except educational functions delegated by law to the state board of
regents. The state board of education shall perform such other duties as may be
;~~'ovided~~ prescribed by law.

(b) The legislature shall provide for a state board of regents and for its control
and supervision of public institutions of higher education. Public institutions of
higher education shall include universities and colleges granting baccalaureate or
postbaccalaureate degrees and such other institutions and educational interests as
may be provided by law. The state board of regents shall perform such other duties
as may be prescribed by law.

(c) Any municipal university shall be operated, supervised and controlled as pro-
vided by law.

``Sec. 2. The following statement shall be printed on the ballot with the amendment as
a whole:

``Explanatory statement. This amendment would eliminate the constitutional
power of the state board of education to generally supervise the public schools with-
out being subject to statutory guidelines prescribed by the legislature.

``A vote for this proposition would give greater accountability of the state board
of education to the people through their representation by the legislative branch of
government. The state board of education would be responsible for implementation
of public school policy under statutory directives adopted by the legislature.

``A vote against this proposition would continue in effect the authority of the state
board of education to exercise legislative power in establishing policy regarding the
public schools independent of direct input by the legislature.''

Sec. 3. This resolution, if approved by two-thirds of the members elected (or appointed)
and qualified to the Senate and two-thirds of the members elected (or appointed) and
qualified to the House of Representatives, shall be entered on the journals, together with

provided by law and shall cause the proposed amendment to be submitted to the electors
of the state at the general election to be held in the year 1998 unless a special election is
called at a sooner date by concurrent resolution of the legislature, in which case it shall be
submitted to the electors of the state at the special election.
