Linda Dishman Wins First Milken Award of 2018-19 in Kansas

What brings Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer to Berryton Elementary School? He's here for a special assembly with Commissioner of Education Dr. Randy Watson, other dignitaries, and an unexpected guest who's about to change one teacher's career. Fifth-grade teacher Linda Dishman gets the surprise of a lifetime when Lowell Milken, chairman and co-founder of the Milken Family Foundation, names her the winner of the first Milken Educator Award of the 2018-19 season and $25,000.
