Kansas Reflector Podcast · Kansas literacy director wants Legislature to merge programs · 26 Jan 2026 podcast

Um but what would you like to see about in regards to this uh this dual track?

So boots on the ground in the classroom, you think a unified plan would be more uh conducive to learning, but also it would clear up perhaps confusion that legislators, policymakers have about what you're doing with their tax dollars.

Uh and if the legislators who are supposed to be subject matter experts in some of the stuff are confused and baffled by it.

But the general public is largely unaware of what's going on, I'd have to think.

Okay.

Have you uh had discussions with legislators about this idea?

Any other changes you'd like to make to the blueprint law itself?

Sort of like we have uh individual plans for students that are in special education, right?

I s I think that hands on learning is really uh beneficial to everybody.

All right.

Let's close this out.

I believe in uh presentations of the Kansas legislature's uh two education committees, House and Senate committees, you made reference to one of your relatives, Minnie?

That was my grandmother.

Grandmother, okay.

Uh and uh she had some words of advice to you in regards to uh self-improvement uh as to uh you may think you're just a glowing success.

success all over all around but there w there might be a reason to uh to check that every now and then.

I think we're gonna leave it there.

Cynthia Lane, uh who's the director of the Blueprint for Literacy program within the Kansas Board of Regents office, former superintendent.

Um I wanna thank you for being here and helping explain this important issue for sure.
