Eastern Kansas school board facing resignations, discord
GARDNER, Kan. (AP) — A member of an eastern Kansas school board says she resigned after two years of insults and threats that culminated in harassment while she ate dinner at a restaurant. The Kansas City Star reports Kristen Schultz resigned on Monday, making her the fourth member of the Gardner Edgerton school board to leave amid increasing tension in the southwest Johnson County town. Four new conservative members were elected in November after campaigning to remove the district’s superintendent over her leadership during the pandemic. New board members acknowledge they have had problems getting started but say the board is headed in the right direction.
