The ATEC academy already serves about 160 students with six teachers, while a freshman academy faced space issues. Planning for a four-wing new building includes a freshman academy and three student-focused communities.

KDOT to review bridges and hire local inspectors
The task force found 30 to 50 percent of local inspection reports may be flawed. KDOT will contract with local governments to hire bridge inspectors, maintain a list of qualified inspectors, shift three staff to consult on inspections, and review 10 percent of inspections itself. Local funding limits and contractor availability hinder rural areas, while many bridges across Kansas remain structurally deficient or obsolete.
