More students are in Kansas schools, but fewer teachers to help them.

State budget cuts mean classrooms are getting more crowded. The Lawrence Journal World says the total number of teacher positions statewide for this current school year is 34,075. That's down about 13-hundred since 2009. Meantime, student enrollment is up from more than 473-hundred in 2009 to nearly 483-hundred in the current school year. That's an increase of about 97-hundred students.
