All Kansas District Courts will be closed Friday.
They are also scheduled to be closed four other Fridays—April 27th, May 11th, May 25th and June 8th.
Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss last week ordered furloughs for judicial branch employees for the five Fridays in order to close a shortfall in court operating funds. Employees will be on involuntary unpaid leave those Fridays.
Kansas lawmakers began their annual spring break late last month without passing a spending plan for the fiscal year beginning July 1st. They won’t reconvene until April 25th.
The spending plan also covered a $1.4 million shortfall in the judicial branch’s current budget. Nuss warned lawmakers in a February letter that without the extra funding, Kansas courts would have to close five extra days this spring.
