04.23.2008 NCSP Parity in Kansas
A KASP committee worked hard to get a bill before
the Kansas legislature this spring, to provide
stipends for school psychologists with the NCSP.
An identical bill for board-certified teachers
passed recently, so this attempts to establish
parity for our profession. As of 2/14/08 it had
sponsorship by education committee member Barbara
Craft (Kansas House Republican District 65), to
go up for a vote this session. Click
here to see HB2869. Unfortunately, Chairman
Aurand did not bring the bill up for a hearing
this session. As we'd been advised, the fiscal
note for the bill ((approximately
$90,000) is a problem. It had been foreshadowed
to us that
there's VERY LITTLE discretionary money for new
spending this year, so
legislators are being very selective in the bills
that are moved forward if there's a fiscal impact
to the state. For 2008, there were higher priority
bills; We'll try to get it introduced again at
a more opportune time.

Welcome to our Website
The recent website troubles have killed some
of the links at the top. Temporarily, you'll find
2008 conference info posted on this page below.
4.23.08: Website Doldrums Redux -
A few weeks ago, we started getting emails letting
us know that people couldn't access the site.
It was confusing at first, because the site was
intact and working perfectly, on a server in Wichita.
The folks there tracked down the issue: there
was domain registration information on servers
around the world, which direct your web browser
when you typed www.kasp.org into the address bar.
The information for kasp.org became corrupted
and lengthy re-registration process was undertaken
to fix it. The address problem kept conference
registration from going up recently, it will be
fixed ASAP. Related to some of these problems,
a lot of links on the site were corrupted: those
will take a while to get all fixed.
2.20.08: Website Doldrums -
If you haven't been here since January, the site's
radical new look is probably a mystery. The website
went down the last week of January and is still
not entirely back. It was the worst of scenarios,
involving a catastrophe at the company hosting
our website. There was some sort of cascading
event which took out the server on which kasp.org
was hosted, the backup server, and the backup-backup
server. Your webmaster returned from the NASP
conference to find that all content was gone forever,
including the backups. Even the style sheet we
previously used is gone and no longer available
from Microsoft, which is why I have redesigned
the basic look.
