Leeper resigns after citing ten weeks to obtain compasses and protractors while district officials defend department level budgeting. Newell says funds cover all high school departments though some items are scarce. Duran and teachers rely on mini grants and personal purchases when quick needs arise amid No Child Left Behind pressures.

Stocking drive honors troops with holiday gifts for soldiers
The Christmas stocking initiative by Bachman and Witzke honors Travis's memory by sending filled stockings to Kansas soldiers in Iraq. Eight soldiers responded last year praising the morale boost. Donors can fill stockings with cocoa, snacks, toiletries and other items, plus a $3 shipping fee and a card, with drop-off at the National Guard Armory on Nov 20 between 6 and 8 PM.
