Senator proposes bill to curb out-of-district transfers
In Topeka, Senator Ty Masterson introduces a budget committee bill amid district concerns that some Kansas districts may refuse out-of-district transfers next year. Seaman USD 345 and Silver Lake USD 3872 plan not to accept new nonresident students, while Auburn-Washburn USD 487 weighs the same.
