Wichita schools (USD 259) will get a federal grant to pay for police officers in the schools.
From the Wichita Eagle:
The Wichita school district will receive a federal grant that could help keep police officers in middle and high schools.
The grant, secured by Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Goddard, would give the district $246,807 — almost double what it is currently paying the city for the school resource officers.

Next time someone complains about unfunded mandates on public schools, it might be worth remembering this “gift” as well.
