The plan would add about 450 million dollars in state costs over two years by ratcheting up base per pupil funding by 150 million annually for five years, with 150 million next year and 300 million in 2018-2019.
Douglas County commissioners on Wednesday unanimously approved a post conviction house arrest program to offer an alternative to jail. County coordinator Robert Bieniecki said the plan expands current electronic monitoring options by providing devices at no cost to inmates unable to pay the upfront fee, using the same vendor as the pretrial release program.
Police say Seth Quick 19 of Lawrence was riding a 2001 Kawasaki with passenger Cody Nichols 15 when a 2002 Mitsubishi driven by Alexis Farley 19 failed to yield at Rockledge Road and McDonald Drive. Quick died at the scene while Nichols was seriously hurt and flown to a Kansas City area hospital. Farley sustained nonlife threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital. Police note Quick may have been under illegal drug influence but lab results are pending. Farley showed no impairment.
