Well, my common-standards addicts, you can get another fix. We have news that the Kansas board of education adopted the common standards late yesterday afternoon.
Two members of the 10-member board were absent, and the remaining eight voted 7-1 to adopt the standards, according to state department of education spokeswoman Kathy Toelkes.
