Where are our Internet gaps?
Help your community by telling us about your local internet service! Fellow Kansans at the University of Kansas Institute for Policy & Social Research are seeking ways to improve internet access and quality in our state. We need your help finding areas in Kansas that experience internet service gaps. These gaps keep people in Kansas communities from being able to access online education, health care and other critical services. Take the survey and help Kansas get better connected:
https://ipsr.ku.edu/broadband/kansas.shtml.
This survey takes about 15 minutes to complete. You may take the survey only once.
Reminder: School will be dismissed at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, 11/17/21 .

Nutrition and Wellness students are in the middle of the Team Up for Local Foods “ Put our State on your Plate” Recipe Challenge. Sponsored by KSDE, students are partnering with a local food producer and school lunch program director to create an entree' that meets school nutrition standards, calculate cost per serving, conduct a taste-test and complete an application with their results. Today, they conducted the taste test with fellow high school students. This is Project-Based Learning at its best!
