Baldwin City approves phased library mill levy hike

Baldwin City Council on March 15 rescinded a 1997 charter ordinance and approved a new charter ordinance granting the library up to 5 mills of annual tax authority, phased in over five years at 0.20 mills per year to avoid raising residents’ tax burden. The plan requires about an $8,000 annual city budget cut for five years to offset the library funds.

Kansas ACT scores drop across English and other subjects

The Regents report shows 2021 ACT benchmarks dropped for English 53 percent, reading 42, and math 32 percent, with only 21 percent meeting all four, down from 2013. Law in 2019 made tests free, yet rising test-taking correlates with lower benchmark attainment and concerns about college readiness and tuition. The analysis calls for curriculum reviews and a graduation task force, noting enrollment declines across Regents universities and communities, with racial and income disparities evident.
