AN ACT concerning education; encouraging school districts to annually designate a Linda Brown and family walk to school day.
AI Summary
This bill encourages school districts in Kansas to annually designate a "Linda Brown and family walk to school day" in August or September to honor Linda Carol Brown and her parents, Oliver and Leola Brown, for their pivotal role in the landmark Supreme Court case *Brown v. Board of Education*, which successfully desegregated schools across the United States and allowed students to attend their neighborhood schools. The bill acknowledges and celebrates the courage of the Brown family and other Kansas families who embraced desegregation, and it aims to commemorate this significant historical achievement by encouraging students and their families to walk to school on this designated day.
