Warren County government is getting its ducks in rows to respond to potential weather events that hit the area this year. Fiscal Court magistrates on Thursday approved a winter response agreement between Warren County Parks and Recreation and the Bowling Green-Warren County Regional Airport. Under the agreement, parks will provide the airport with snowplows and equipment, while also training airport personnel in how to respond to a winter weather event. “We provide them with equipment, we train their staff,” County Parks Director Chris Kummer told the Daily News. “Their staff are on-site with our equipment and they’re clearing the runways … to make sure it’s usable during a snow accident.” Like Warren County Public Works, WCPR operates its own fleet of snowplows and spreads its own de-icer in the lead-up to snowfall. Kummer said along with the airport, parks crews will work in county-owned areas within city limits to clear snow and ice.

Rich parents want to buy their public-school class an art teacher. Should the school say no?

Parents at a well-resourced public school raise enough money for art teachers and smaller classes. Nearby schools cannot raise comparable amounts, widening differences within the same district.
