Book boosts parental health literacy for child care
A Kansas program trained parents to use What to Do When Your Child Gets Sick, leading to 55 percent fewer ER visits and 46 percent fewer doctor visits. The 2010 survey by Kansas Head Start Association tied improved literacy to fewer missed work and school days, with potential $14 million in ER cost savings.

Budget combat shapes Kansas courts funding clash
King welcomed any olive branch as relations improve between Kansas judicial and legislative branches. Pedigo said she could not confirm whether council members received a letter. Court funding remains tight after the Great Recession with fees rising and furloughs ordered in 2010 and 2012. The 2014 judicial budget exceeds 127 million while the 2015 budget nears 128 million, both about 3 percent below 2013 levels. Salaries drive 96 percent of spending.
