Taylor Moreland for Kansas House District 7 , is running to represent parts of Labette County including Parsons and Neosho County including parts of Chanute.Moreland emphasizes the importance of strong funding for public education, describing it as one of the most critical areas for state and federal investment. She highlights the role schools play as the primary education system for most children and argues they should be prioritized accordingly.She focuses heavily on the importance of special education services, including IEPs, noting that many of the children she works with in the foster care system rely on that additional support to succeed. She explains that trauma, learning disabilities, and conditions like ADHD can all impact a child’s ability to learn, and without proper resources, those students are at risk of being left behind. Moreland argues that removing or reducing special education funding would harm students and limit their ability to develop and succeed.She also states that these types of supports are essential across all education settings, including private schools, and emphasizes that funding and access to special education resources should be protected and strengthened.See the full interview on Kansas Helen Substack and learn more about Kansas House District 7.
