This cut takes more than $2 million from a $7 million budget," said Janis DeBoer, executive director of the Kansas Association of Area Agencies on Aging and Disabilities, or K4AD, during a news conference Friday.

Once again, the extremist Republican Kansas Legislature in cahoots with the equally extremist Gov. Sam Brownback has made a dangerously irresponsible decision against public education and our third branch of government.

A summer food program, provided for children by the South Plains Food Bank, will be launched Saturday in a free lunch and activities event from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Carlisle Park, 26th Street and Avenue W. According to Danielle Robertson, communications and digital marketing manager for the food bank, the program was set up for the summer because one in four children across the South Plains is considered food-insecure. "During the summer, need at the food bank typically increases due to the added strain on families to feed children who would otherwise benefit from the free and reduced lunch program at school," she said.
Summer is about fun and freedom -- and to most kids, it means months filled with playing in the sun, swimming at the lake or playing baseball in the park. However, more than 22 million children may lose access to free or reduced-price meal programs when school lets out.
