- The Lansing school board in Leavenworth County, Kansas has approved its own “parents bill of rights” after Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed a statewide bill this spring. The document gives parents the right to review and object to any classroom materials or activities that they believe harms the family’s values. [Kansas City Star]
- A new web-based customer service portal for Johnson County Wastewater could soon make it easier for homeowners to address sewer backups on their property. The portal would help manage the entire Private Infiltration/Inflow removal process. Without the new portal, it would take the equivalent of an additional 3.5 full-time employees to keep up with the process manually. [FOX4]
