Lawrence district mulls all day kindergarten with school closure
Lawrence School Board weighs closing Wakarusa Valley School to free funds for expanding all-day kindergarten at Broken Arrow and Sunflower. If approved, Sunflower would absorb Easy Living Park students, reducing bus costs while eight other schools already offer full-day programs. Public hearing precedes a Monday vote.

District eyes $3 million budget cut and school consolidations
A district task force, after eight months of work led by co chair Scott Morgan, recommends closing Wakarusa Valley and consolidating Hillcrest and Sunset Hill, with plans for a new eastern Lawrence school following public input. Morgan, to leave office in June, says the consensus is a legitimate compromise to address state budget cuts and possible bond issues for renovations and new construction.

Wichita unemployment shows improving trend says economist
Wichita's February unemployment rate fell to 8.4 percent from 8.7 percent, marking a shift in the aviation manufacturing hub's job market. Friends University economist Malcolm Harris cautioned the improvement remains fragile as the city still faces a long road ahead after peaking at 10.3 percent in July 2009.
