KS Drought Response Enters Third Year

Posted on

roberts droughtThe Governor’s Drought Response Team held its first meeting of 2013 Friday afternoon.

The team heard the U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook continues to illustrate drought conditions persisting or intensifying in Kansas, with a higher probability for above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation.

The meeting focused on responses from the public water supply assessment and also included updates regarding current reservoir levels and the status of the emergency drought livestock water supply initiative. There were also discussions regarding the federal government’s role in drought management for Kansas.

“The Kansas Department of Agriculture Division of Conservation has been implementing an initiative to provide financial assistance to Kansas livestock producers needing water supplies,” said Greg Foley, Division of Conservation executive director. “We have approved 579 applications to date and continue working with county conservation districts, NRCS and landowners to complete the remaining approved applications.”

For more detailed information about the state’s current conditions, see the Kansas Climate Summary and Drought Report on the KWO website at www.kwo.org

 

Flu Restricts Visitors to Hays Med

Posted on

hays med logoHays Medical Center imposed visitor restrictions Friday due to flu season.

Visitors who have influenza symptoms, such as fever, body aches, headache, weakness and cough, will not be allowed on patient floors. Children 12 years of age or younger also will not be admitted.

The number of influenza cases has risen nationally, and HaysMed is taking precautions to help limit the spread of flu, according to a press release.

Signs noting the restrictions are posted near the facility’s main entrances.

Court Rules State Should Increase Aid To Schools

Posted on

school2-150x150A three-judge panel has ruled in favor of parents and schools who say the state’s formula for funding education is unconstitutional.

Parents and school districts had argued the state has failed to live up to its promises to increase elementary and secondary education funding as ordered by the Kansas Supreme Court in 2006. They say schools have had to make cuts that have hurt student achievement.

Friday’s 245-page ruling from Shawnee County District Court will likely trigger an appeal from the state, though it’s unclear how quickly that case would be heard.

In the ruling, the judges barred lawmakers from further cuts to per-pupil spending. But the ruling also acknowledged the state would likely appeal its findings.

Emporia Schools Security Guards Will Be Armed

Posted on

armed school security guardsSecurity guards at Emporia’s high school and middle school will be able to carry guns starting Feb. 1.

The Emporia school district’s board of education voted Wednesday to allow the security guards to carry guns while on duty at the schools. Currently, all school employees are banned from carrying guns.

Superintendent Theresa Davidson said the change will move the district closer to a comprehensive plan for making all students and staff safe.

KVOE reports the board also changed the job description for security officers. Officers will be required to have some law enforcement experience, be certified with a 70 percent target practice accuracy, get 20 hours of law enforcement training every year and follow legal “use of force” protocols.

Kansas Hit Hard by Flu

Posted on

FluSeason1TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – The flu season has hit Kansas hard this year.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Kansas is one of 41 states designated as having a “widespread” flu outbreak.

Kansas Department of Health and Environment Secretary Robert Moser says KDHE uses several methods to track the illness, including monitoring the percentage of patients seeking health care who exhibit influenza-like illness. The typical peak for flu cases is February, and Moser says the rates in Kansas so far are higher and earlier than what Kansas usually reports.

KDHE spokeswoman Barbara Hersh says more than 460 influenza and pneumonia deaths have been reported in Kansas this flu season.

During the 2011-2012 influenza season flu and pneumonia contributed to or directly caused more than 1,300 deaths in Kansas.
