DeSoto school board authorized administrators to study the cost of purchasing more computers and expanding the district's classroom program.

The board also approved a policy denying parents the right to request specific teachers, while allowing veto-style exclusions.

County redraws precinct lines in Douglas County
Douglas County clerk Patty Jaimes says new precinct boundaries will split West Wakarusa along Clinton Parkway creating a North Wakarusa precinct and a smaller West Wakarusa. The change takes effect May 29 after publication, with polling at Lawrence Fire Station No 3 for north precinct voters and West Wakarusa voters remaining at Wakarusa Township Fire Station. The move aims to shorten lines and boost service during large turnout.
