The Manhattan area was well-represented at Tuesday’s pro-education rally in Topeka. Manhattan/Ogden NEA President Usha Reddi says the event in her words “went really great.” Reddi was especially pleased with the number of young people who attended from the Manhattan area. Reddi tells KMAN the message continues to be “We want what’s right, and not what’s left,” referring to funding for education. Several students from the local district attended the event, with a thousand people and 30 districts represented. Reddi adds the students had a chance to meet with and see in action, State Senator Roger Reitz and State Representative Sydney Carlin, both of Manhattan.
