A gun was found in the backpack of a Rex elementary school student today.
The gun was not loaded.
The student was removed from the classroom and the police were notified.
Parents were notified via a letter sent home with their students.

While the world celebrates Earth Day (April 22) this month, Haysville USD 261 faculty, staff and students are participating as well, each one with a strong sense of satisfaction at having done his or her part to control energy use and to keep costs down.
During these tough budgetary times, Haysville USD 261 decided to combat the rising energy costs by implementing a comprehensive people-based energy conservation program throughout all its buildings and campuses.
Haysville USD 261 achieved more than $2,900,000 in savings through a 34.6% reduction in energy use over nine years. That savings translates into significant numbers for Earth Day, too.
Since Haysville USD 261 began the program, energy consumption has been reduced by 180,795 MMBTUs.
That reduction translates into the equivalent of 71,183 metric tons of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere, or 12,776 passenger cars removed from the road, or 1,820,719 trees planted. The cost of utilities is the second largest budget line-item for school districts, and the prices for electricity, natural gas, and water have steadily increased over the past few years.
For Earth Day, Haysville USD 261 plans to continue its efforts, and invite the public to join in. There are a number of resources available on the Internet that can help individuals learn how to save energy in their own homes. Including GreenQuest a free online energy tracking tool hosted on the districts website at www.mygreenquest.com/haysville261ks/.
It’s important for all of us to save energy. While most of the time we discuss it in terms of saving money, for Earth Day we encourage you to be concerned with our natural resources. Being good stewards of both our money and our environment gives us a great sense of satisfaction.

The City of Haysville has money to help. It comes in the form of financial incentives to encourage business owners and home buyers to make a move to the growing and welcoming suburb.
Through the leadership of Mayor Ken Hampton, the City of Haysville has made a commitment to use community resources and incentive programs as a catalyst for employment-generating investments by the private sector and to spur sales of new custom built homes and spec homes that haven’t been occupied.
“The goal is to give financial help to prospective home buyers and to minimize the cost of expanding or locating a business in Haysville in order to enhance the local economy, revitalize target areas, and promote strong and balanced growth throughout the City,” said Mayor Hampton.
The City of Haysville recently accomplished an Economic Development Strategic Plan establishing direction for Haysvilles economic development activities over the next three years. After several months of planning among representatives from local businesses, Chamber of Commerce, governing body and the Economic Development Strategic Planning Team, the city launched 10 incentive programs.
The programs intend to foster a stronger local economy and enhance the quality of life in Haysville for years to come. Target areas include Broadway (US 81 Corridor), Main Street Corridor, Meridian Street Corridor, Grand Avenue Arterial, as well as public and private Industrial Parks.
The city is trying to make the incentives easy to obtain. “There are other qualifiers to receiving grants, rebates or waivers, which are typical to incentive programs, but nothing that keeps these programs from being user friendly,” stated Hampton.
Programs for which funding is available include: New Home Voucher, Rent Assistance Grant, Building Facade Improvement Grant, Underutilized Building Grant, Black Top (parking lot) Grant, Education/Training Grant, Fee Abatement/Waiver, and City Property Tax Holiday.
Businesses with larger projects in mind have access to other programs which encompass infrastructure assistance, and industrial revenue bonds with associated tax abatement. Qualifiers for these programs are linked to job creation, wages paid and others.
