(AP) — The chairwoman of the Kansas State Board of Education says it’s uncertain when the panel will vote on proposed science standards for public schools.

The board’s agenda for a meeting Tuesday includes a vote on guidelines that would replace standards adopted in 2007. But Chairwoman Jana Shaver said she isn’t sure the board will want to vote then.

The Independence Republican noted the vote is scheduled shortly after a public comment period. Shaver said members may consider delaying the vote depending upon the comments made.

The Next Generation Science Standards were developed by 26 states, including Kansas. They emphasize hands-on projects and starting instruction about core concepts in kindergarten.

Past debates on science standards in Kansas have centered on teaching evolution. Both the existing and proposed standards are evolution-friendly.

(AP) — Jurors have a tough decision to make when they begin deliberations in the case of a former Kansas lawman accused of shooting his wife and setting their house on fire while the couple’s young children slept down the hall.

Prosecutors have portrayed Brett Seacat as a killer who used his law enforcement training to forge a suicide note before shooting his wife, Vashti Seacat, in their home during the early morning hours of April 30, 2011. But defense attorneys have presented evidence of suicide that may raise enough reasonable doubt for an acquittal.

(AP) — A Hawaii real estate agent today says Edward Snowden and his girlfriend moved out of their home in a quiet neighborhood near Honolulu on May 1, leaving nothing behind.

Century 21 real estate agent Kerri Jo Heim says Sunday that police came by on Wednesday to ask where the couple went. Heim told them she didn’t know.

Snowden is a 29-year-old contractor who says he’s the source behind reports about the U.S. government’s secret surveillance programs. The Guardian newspaper reported Sunday that he was working in a National Security Agency office in Hawaii. He left for Hong Kong on May 20 and has remained there since.

Carolyn Tijing, who lived across the street from Snowden, says the couple had moving boxes lining their garage from floor to ceiling before leaving the neighborhood suddenly.
