Smart Start aims to bring early childhood program to southwest Kansas
Russell Child Development Center coordinates efforts to land Smart Start in southwest Kansas with a survey across 13 counties. Rebecca Clancy notes consistent but surprising results across towns from Garden City to Elkhart, highlighting needs for better child care, transportation, interpreters in schools, and resources for families just above poverty lines.

Disability groups pressed for ADA compliance, while officials cite building ownership and renovations as reasons. Some counties consolidate to cut transition costs for new touch screen machines.
