Drone incident widens Iran spying risk across region
Sources say a lost drone has become a focal point of an escalating surveillance program aimed at Iran's nuclear facilities. The craft, believed to have originated from a US base in Afghanistan, could be reverse engineered by adversaries who seek its AESA radar and sensor tech. Iran summoned the Swiss ambassador over the incident, calling for explanation and compensation, while Tehran urged UN condemnation of covert operations.

Lawmakers wary as Fulmer touts local control over school funds
Lawmakers question Brownback administration proposals to let local communities raise funds for schools with a strong belief in local control. Chairwoman Jean Schodorf warns details are needed on how changes affect more than 3 billion dollars in state aid. Critics fear districts may seek property tax hikes to cover gaps, while critics note hold harmless provisions may not prevent aid drops if student enrollment falls. The Kansas Constitution requires suitable provision for funding and the state Supreme Court has mandated adequacy for all students. The 1992 formula has faced revisions after court decisions and the Great Recession reduced aid, with this year’s legislature cutting base state aid by almost 6 percent.
