Cauble Named to National Task Force

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – A southwest Kansas member of the State Board

of Education has been chosen to participate in a national

discussion of rural education issues.

Sally Cauble of Liberal will serve on a task force of the

National Association of State Boards of Education studying rural

and frontier education issues.

The panel will review policy recommendations that will be made

to Congress and the U.S. Department of Education that will address
