Forum Year Changes for Sixth Graders in Middle Schools
At a forum the district described sixth graders now in middle schools with more classes and different teachers. Standards based grades remain S M T or E alongside letter grades, with debate over changes. Board members will consider the issue in an upcoming meeting likely December or January. District admins say standards based grades better reflect knowledge and learner behaviors than traditional letters, while opponents say teachers lack time to issue such grades.

Poverty rate shifts eyed as 2009 figure questioned
Census Bureau officials caution that the 2009 poverty level may be inflated and uncertain. If 2010 figures stand, Douglas County shows little change since before the recession, with a 15.6 percent rate in 2010 and 15.4 percent in 2007. State comparisons show Douglas higher overall but lower for children. Wyandotte tops at 23.9 percent.

Kansas lawmakers oppose SRS reform plan proposed by Brownback
Stakeholders packed a meeting to discuss the plan to merge SRS juvenile intake and assessment with Juvenile Justice Authority under Kansas Medicaid overhaul. Critics say the reorganization lacks details and vetting, urging delay until more research. Lawmakers voiced concerns about disrupting an already improved system and local oversight. Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild notes bipartisan questions and a committee vote to withhold executive action.
