Kansas profiles: Changing education in Bluestem schools
By Ron Wilson
Huck Boyd
What was in your school classroom? I remember desks in straight rows, colorful posters on the wall and a big blackboard up front.
Today we’ll meet a school that has such classrooms, but also nontraditional places of learning such as a working barn and a downtown business. These innovative projects are being implemented by a school district in rural Kansas. 
Joel Lovesee is superintendent of Unified School District 205, which includes the Bluestem schools in Leon. Joel grew up in Kinsley and went to Fort Hays State University, where he met his wife, Sonya. He became a teacher and later a school administrator. In 2008, he and his family moved to Leon, where he became school principal. He was promoted to superintendent in 2013.
