PITTSBURG, Kan. — With additional stops planned for Galena and Coffeyville later in the day, some of the state’s top education officials hosted an event Tuesday at the Bicknell Family Center for the Arts at Pittsburg State University as part of their 50-city Kansans Can Success Tour, which kicked off in late July. Tuesday’s event involved a survey that was made available to attendees, and Kansas Commissioner of Education Randy Watson said that not only the local results of that survey, but statewide data for comparison, will eventually be made available to participants. "We’ll send you this information statewide, what Southeast Kansas thought versus Northwest Kansas, what small communities thought versus larger communities,” Watson said.
