TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly has issued an order requiring masks and daily temperature checks in the state’s K-12 schools.
Kelly on Monday set some coronavirus-inspired rules that are stricter than guidelines adopted by the Republican-controlled State Board of Education.
Kelly also released the text of a proposed order to delay the reopening of public and private elementary, middle and high schools for three weeks from mid-August until Sept. 9.
Kansas law requires the state school board’s approval for a delay and it is scheduled to meet Wednesday morning.
The Democratic governor’s actions are inspiring criticism from Republican legislators and conservatives outside state government.

can someone usher Kelly out of the state house? Shes completely clueless. She makes herself look like a fool on a daily basis.
