You can’t go back to the swinging 80s, but your wallet can time travel for the next four days at the Westport Flea Market (817 Westport Road). In honor of its 31st anniversary, the Westport burger spot is rolling back prices on burgers and beer...”

Terry Calaway, JCCC president; Gene Johnson, Shawnee Mission School District superintendent; and Steve Waddell, owner of I Support Learning, Inc., along with area high school counselors and state lawmakers will join the governor, Labor Secretary Karin Brownlee and Commerce Secretary Pat George at the event.

Beginning in the 2012-2013 school year, the state will pay the full cost of tuition for all high school students who enroll in technical courses offered at Kansas technical and community colleges.  An incentive program will give school districts $1,000 for each high school student who graduates from that district with an industry-recognized credential in a high-need occupation.

The Kansas Legislature passed the legislation unanimously during the 2012 session.”
