Lakin USD 215 superintendent Mike Ward notes a 363 thousand dollar impact for a 7 percent cut and outlines buying ahead and vehicle replacements as possible steps.

In a long running dispute over the Ogallala Aquifer, Haskell County District Court Judge Linda Gilmore granted a permanent injunction favoring fifth generation farmer the Garetsons against American Warrior. The ruling stops two junior wells from pumping, preserving the Garetsons 80 year senior water right as the region faces drought and ongoing depletion concerns.

Regents chief calls for more state funding for higher education
Kansas Board of Regents president Blake Flanders argues restoring state funding is the structural path to lower college costs. He notes Regents institutions lost $75 million over three years after Gov Brownback’s earlier cuts. The plan includes a theoretical $15,000 four year degree via Cowley County Community College and Fort Hays State University, with high school coursework in the first two years and possible immediate implementation if legislature funds scholarships and tuition pricing is set.
