Money: A lesson in savings program gains momentum
Vice President Donna Tanner explains the savings program at multiple schools aims to teach money management to children and involved parents. More than 750 accounts exist as banks operate brief weekly sessions, with deposits ranging from a few cents to larger sums as students learn value of saving. The effort mirrors statewide Save At School curriculum expansion under Kansas State Treasurer Lynn Jenkins, offering classroom materials and family engagement opportunities.

Fuller proposes continuing health insurance reforms with two years of no increases and shifting costs to employees. The plan would raise single and family monthly contributions to 37 and 110 dollars in 2008, aiming to align city costs with private sector. City staff note past consensus expectations and study committee findings, while critics worry about lower salaries and comparisons to private sector plans.
