This wasn t really a surprise Koksal s mother, Beth, works for a public health coalition in Garden City.
But Koksal didn t need any urging from his parents in order to be convinced to get the vaccine. It s an easy call for me to get the vaccine because, why not? Why wouldn t I? Koksal said. Why wouldn t I get it if I can help prevent the spread, you know, especially when I have a lot of people in my life that are vulnerable.
Now that he s been vaccinated, Koksal has become the de facto expert for his friends and classmates on what to expect if they get the shots.

The process of even just discussing a change to Seaman Unified School District 345’s name will cost at least $30,000 and could cost as much as $70,000 to get started.
The Seaman Board of Education on Monday approved a contract with the Kansas Leadership Center to help assist in the district’s name change discussion, which comes months after student journalists at Seaman High School first confirmed long-held rumors that district namesake and pioneer Fred A. Seaman was also a leader in the Topeka chapter of the Ku Klux Klan.
The Kansas Leadership Center contract, which was approved in the board’s consent agenda, stipulates that the contract’s $30,000 base amount would go toward creating the advisory committee, providing introduction to the leadership center’s framework, and holding three retreats for group discussion on a potential name change.
Dropping off his first child at a Seaman Unified School District 345 kindergarten several years ago, Frank Henderson never imagined he d be significantly involved with their education, at least compared to the average parent.
But then he joined the school s site council. Then he became president of the school s PTO. Soon enough, Henderson was asked to run for a spot on the Seaman Board of Education, so he did.
He narrowly lost that election by a 2% margin, but throughout his career and involvement in his children s education, Henderson had found a sense of service that motivated him when ultimately elected to the board at the next election in 2007. It s that sense he s carrying with him as the National School Board Association s next president-elect.
