Big Kansas districts face audit findings on surpluses and admins

Lawmakers clash on property taxes and teaching certification
Nichols supports an eight to ten percent residential tax rate with three brackets for property values while Allen doubts any passage this year. A draft calls for eight percent residential and rural tax assessments, and he predicts rapid changes come spring. He foresees no penalties for low student teacher ratios this year, favors local boards determining ratios, and expects broad negotiation in an election year. He backs teacher certification testing but says universities bear part of the burden and districts may handle in-house. He warns the session will be a bloodbath.

Reagan seals draft registration despite moral objections
Washington AP reports Reagan will prosecute over 800,000 men who fail to register unless they sign up during a 30 to 60 day grace period. The plan aims to speed mobilization in emergencies, with Meese predicting most will comply and enforcement steps before prosecution. Critics call the move hypocritical, citing Reagan's 1980 stance on moral grounds.
