6A NEWS / FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM CAMPUS Students to have tax help LSS and SUA offer workshops to help students file taxes BY ANNIE VANGSNES anniev@kansan.com Students should have no trouble finding free help with taxes during the next month. There are several on-campus options for students who need help filing taxes. Legal Services for Students is working with Student Union Activities to put on three workshops during the next month. Students who attend the workshops will file their taxes online with free software provided by the IRS and attorneys from LSS will be there to answer questions. LSS also provides workshops for international students who fill out a different tax form. Jabiz Bezhadpour, SUA special events coordinator and a junior from Topeka, said she thinks students get confused and don't know where to start. "It's something you always have other people do for you," Behzadpour said, "but it's definitely a good skill that would be helpful to learn." Michele Kessler, LSS associate director, said she wanted students to learn how to do their taxes themselves, but also have help along the way. She said if students have further problems after the workshop or if they have a complicated issue, they can make an appointment through LSS to get help. "First go to the workshop because you might be able to get it done by yourself." Kessler said. "And if not, come in and make an appointment." Kessler said spring is the office's busiest time of the year and they have two attorneys assigned specifically to help with taxes. Students can also get help from KU law students any day of the week through its free walk-in service. Their services are open to everyone, not just students.

"We got them out immediately after the game," Bodensteiner said. The racks were full, but merely hours after the game only a few were left. EDUCATION Board to close KC schools Kansas City school officials promised Thursday to shut down nearly half the district's schools by the start of classes in the fall without offering details of how they intend to implement the complicated plan in just a matter of months. The drastic project also calls for cutting hundreds of jobs and shuffling thousands of students. Officials say the changes are needed to keep the district from using up what little is left of the $2 billion it received as part of a groundbreaking desegregation case. The school board on Wednesday night narrowly approved the plan that calls for closing 29 of 61 facilities, 26 traditional schools and three leased buildings that house early childhood programs. It also eliminates about 700 of 3,000 jobs and requires moving students from the shuttered buildings to other schools. The district's enrollment of fewer than 18,000 students is about half of what the schools had a decade ago,with many students leaving for publicly funded charter schools, private and parochial schools and the suburbs. Superin- tendent John Covington has said the district would be bankrupt million, and that he would "be looking at ways to generate" that money "from additional savings that we will be recommending to the board." He deigned to offer more specifics about financing. The school board on Wednesday night narrowly approved the plan that calls for closing 29 of 61 facilities. in 18 months without the cuts. A news conference Thursday, Covington thanked the school board for approving the plan, but offered few details about how it would be implemented. He said he would give the board details about putting the plan in place in about a week. He added that the transition plan itself would cost $25 Covington said transition teams would be in place in the schools that are closing to help children and staff deal with the changes. He said the changes would likely involve staggered start times and class times for middle school students attending school with high school students in the fall. Some of the district's buildings, including its downtown headquarters, would be sold. Others would be "repurposed," and used as parks, he said.
