The district considers a 2 percent rise to boost supply and TRC funding, enabling longer hours and consultant access while offsetting inflation. A 6 percent rise would finance six classrooms into tech-rich spaces, and higher boosts would expand health, counseling, and staff development to support early intervention and reduce the achievement gap before kindergarten.

Backers push to close gun permit records after veto override
A Kansas task force seeks to shield concealed weapon permits from public records, citing privacy and safety concerns. The measure would require annual training, restrict permit issuance to citizens 21 or older, and keep records private as nearby Missouri does. Officials warn Open Records could reveal holders and endanger victims.
