Charter school figures down in Kansas decline
LAWRENCE AP since 2010 the number of charter schools in Kansas has fallen by two thirds to 11. Last year there were 15 and in 2010 there were 33. Supporters credit charter schools with offering alternatives while critics say funds should strengthen all public schools. Jessica Noble presented the data noting districts convert charters back to regular schools and some virtual programs are folded into existing schools. Under state law, local districts approve applications and state board approval follows, with local districts retaining charter control. HAYS AP a Fort Hays State University donor gift of 1 million dollars will fund athletics scholarships aimed at broad support for students with no sport target. Ed Stehno was a former professor. Donna Stehno is a nurse, the gift establishes the Stehno Family Scholarship Fund on the couple's 50th anniversary.
