Moran eyes change to Kansas school rules
State lawmaker Moran proposes changes to No Child Left Behind rules affecting Kansas schools and districts with high limited English proficiency gains. The plan would extend counting English learners after two years, grant states more teacher certification flexibility, and introduce a growth model for annual student progress while extending transfer options for students at risk.

Holcomb district boundary shifts eyed for bold L shape
Holcomb district 3 6 would be L shaped under a plan to include land west of Big Lane Road and south of Railroad Avenue. The current map places Becker and Powers district over most Holcomb residentials, with 2949 residents in the school district and 1023 in the proposed area. The board must publish the plan within two weeks and residents have 60 days to challenge it. The agenda also covers crisis prevention measures after recent shootings and possible surveillance cameras and restricted access touchpads for staff.
