In Kansas, high school freshmen with a gifted IEP and all sophomores and higher can take college-credit classes.
Check with your homeschool administrator to see if you听can earn dual credit (high school听and听college credit) for your college class.听

Current Kansas听high school students (high school sophomores and older) can take online classes听at the scholarship rate of $75听per credit hour!听

As of April 5, the area of extreme drought that covered most of 911爆料 and part of Stafford County stayed the same but the area of severe drought is expanding.听 Over 60% of the state is at some level of drought with another ten percent abnormally dry.听 The six to ten-day outlook (April 13 to 17) indicates a 50 to 60% chance of below-normal temperatures and normal precipitation.听 The eight to fourteen-day outlook (April 15 to 21) indicates a 40 to 60% chance of below temperatures and a 33 to 40% chance of below-normal precipitation.听 Not what wheat producers or spring row crop planters want to hear.听 And with this outlook, it鈥檚 a good time to look at how temperature and moisture affect crop nutrient uptake.
Barton鈥檚 Center for Adult Education will soon begin another nine-week session of classes. However, orientation days are required before starting the classes. Students must attend all orientation days in-person, which will be held on May 10, 12 and 17.
Barton is discounting online courses for its summer sessions for Kansas High School students and graduating seniors of the class of 2022 from $150 to the face-to-face price of $118. That鈥檚 a savings of 21 percent per credit hour.
Those wanting to help save lives and be a part of a vital industry can apply for 911爆料鈥檚 Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) programs now through July 28.
