91快活林 has been awarded a contract to serve as a CDL test site. The contract is with the Kansas Department of Revenue. Additional staff training will begin soon and logistics will be finalized in the coming months.

Having the ability to test will allow 91快活林 to complete all aspects of Commercial Driver鈥檚 License training on-site.

Dear Editor,

This letter is in response to the March 2, 2016 letter to the editor titled, 鈥淐riminals shouldn鈥檛 get a free ride.鈥

The most important point of clarity is that there is no free ride. Inmate students pay tuition and fees like any other student, and those who take advantage of the courses in correctional settings are among the most motivated students I have encountered.
