The Manhattan-Ogden School Board will consider possibly extending the current version of its pandemic response plan through the end of the current school year, when it meets tonight at the Robinson Education Center. Agenda documents state the district would continue to utilize its “Test to Know” program for students and staff through the remainder of the school year. The method replaces the previously used “Test to Stay” practices, which focused on those exposed to COVID-19 and the use of testing to continue in-person learning, rather than having them quarantine out of school until they are healthier. Currently, when a student…

AUSTIN, Texas (Kansas State Athletics) – All five starters scored in double figures, including a career-best 36 points from senior Markquis Nowell, as Kansas State broke the school record for points in a 116-103 victory at No. 6/6 Texas on Tuesday night to hand the Longhorns their first loss in the brand-new Moody Center before a sold-out crowd of 10,763 fans. The point total not only broke the school record, but it also tied the Big 12 record for most points scored in a conference game, as Baylor scored 116 in a win at Texas A&M on Jan. 23, 2008. The…
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The Kansas City Chiefs began practicing Tuesday for their regular-season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders, which could ultimately earn the AFC West champions the No. 1 playoff seed in the conference in an unprecedented situation for the NFL. Just as the Chiefs were warming up, the league announced that Week 18 games would be played as scheduled, including Kansas City’s visit to Las Vegas on Saturday. But the league also said the Bills-Bengals game from Monday night, which was suspended when Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest, would not be resumed this week.…
It has been over 65 years since the Belvue Bridge was built, and Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee Counties have been working to repair the now deteriorating structure that crosses the Kansas River. A 9 million dollar plan for the project was approved in the early spring of 2022, and county commissioners have attempted to receive federal grant funding for the project multiple times. Pottawatomie County commissioners met for their regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, and County Administrator Chad Kinsley had good news to share. Senator Jerry Moran began seeking these Congressionally Directed Spending dollars in June of last year. The county is…
Both the 0.5% local sales tax and the 0.2% countywide sales tax on roads and bridges will take effect in January. At the end of last year, the prior 0.5% sales tax expired. The county split the tax money with the city of Manhattan, but the latter split off to enact its own tax. The five-year term of the new county tax is expected to bring in $10 million during that time. The 0.2% countywide sales tax will be used to pay for the costs of repairing, maintaining, and building bridges and roads. The proposed new city tax is expected…

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs keep winning and Patrick Mahomes keeps making history. Both are doing so despite some difficult offseason decisions that have prolonged their ability to do so. The biggest, of course, was the decision to trade Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins, rather than lavish on the game-breaking wide receiver a massive contract that would have made it difficult to maneuver financially for years to come. The Chiefs not only gained salary cap flexibility with the move, but also five draft picks that helped to fortify other areas of the roster. That includes the…
