Join us as we talk school policy with James Franko, the president of Kansas Policy Institute. Though James works on Kansas policies, this episode isn't limited to Kansas policy talk only. It is a good introduction to what educational policy is, how they get written, and how the policies effect education in general. For more info go to https://kansaspolicy.org. You can also email James at james.franko@kansaspolicy.org. You can also follow Kansas Policy Institute on twitter @KsPolicy.
James Franko Bio:
James Franko is the President of Kansas Policy Institute, assuming this role after serving in multiple roles with KPI since starting in 2010. In this role, he is responsible for the day-to-day operations of an organization helping each Kansan pursue life, liberty, and happiness. The team has achieved multiple legislative accomplishments during James’ time at KPI including the passage and expansion of Kansas’ only private school choice program. Experience across the free-market movement and time on Capitol Hill help James understand that the challenges facing society are best solved when individuals and local communities are left to find solutions without undue interference from Topeka or Washington, DC. James has published opinion pieces in both national and Kansas-based media outlets, has appeared on radio and TV programs, and regularly speaks to groups around The Sunflower State. A native of Stilwell, James is graduate of Kansas State University where he received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and minored in economics.
