SRS plans phased reshuffle of administration in Kansas
SRS Secretary Janet Schalansky outlined a second phase of reforms to cut regional administrators and possibly close more county offices. The plan adds multiple access points per county, reduces county offices from 105 to 42 service centers, and consolidates 11 regional offices to seven by July 1 2004 with a western region merger by 2005. Savings are projected at 1 to 2 million dollars annually.
