Three people within Salina Unified School District 305 were recognized as recipients of the Salina Education Foundation s Loan Initiative for Future Teachers (L.I.F.T.) program.
Two 305 students and a faculty member with the district will receive the loans. The three were guests at a reception at the USD 305 district building and honored during the district s board of education meeting on Tuesday.
The students, seniors Lexi Doherty of Salina South High and Reagan Stein, of Salina Central High, will both graduate this May. Both students said they have had a good education in Salina. The teachers that we have in USD 305 are very inspiring, said Doherty, who will be studying elementary education at Kansas State University. They definitely help push students to reach their potential.
After a 2-2 vote, the mask mandate for the City of Salina will continue.
As it was a topic that concerned many of the citizens who attended the Salina City Commission meeting Monday, the discussion on the mandate was moved up to the first action item of the agenda.
The commission heard an update about COVID-19, including infection rates and vaccination rates, from Saline County Health Officer and Health Department Director Jason Tiller.
Several people in attendance at the City-County Building and at the meeting online voiced their opposition to continuing the mandate while others attending online asked the commission to continue with the mandate.
