Safety sleeves repurposed from hoses aid district safety efforts
Tonganoxie educator Parker repurposed retired fire hoses into protective sleeves for classroom use after a Florida shooting. Donated by Jim Wittman, the sleeves are being distributed across Tonganoxie elementary and middle schools with high school to follow. Officials in the district and neighboring districts view the program as a broader safety measure, not limited to one school.

Johnson County Jail expands as pretrial programs grow
Johnson County officials push a half cent sales tax to fund a 44 million expansion and an 11 million behavioral health campus while touting pretrial release and home arrest programs. The county reports reduced jail crowding but opponents seek more time to judge outcomes and call for a holistic review before any expansion. Local officials highlight new bonds and electronic monitors that cost far less than full incarceration.
