HUMBOLDT — A new state law that ended due process rights for Kansas teachers was put to use Monday when USD 258 Board of Education members fired Jeff Wilkerson, a Humboldt Middle School physical education teacher and former high school girls basketball coach.
Members of the Kansas National Education Association and Humboldt National Education Association (KNEA and HNEA) attended Monday’s board meeting wearing red T-shirts to show their support for Wilkerson, an eight-year teacher at Humboldt who was suspended with pay July 25.
