Shawnee > Mission is dedicated to teaching ESL kids! You need to check out your info. Like I said Wichita is now the highest paying district in Kansas. I belong to NEA and this was told to us by NEA, plus I did some research and like they said Wichita is the highest paying in Kansas. SM still pays teachers very well!! Especially with a Master's. I still think Olathe is the top district in Kansas. You say you know parents that left Olathe to SM, well I know many that have left SM to Olathe. It is just one's opinion. SM being the 2nd highest paying district in Kansas is a fact. Ryan
