Good morning, Olathe.

The Olathe City Council approved up to $239.8M in bonds and tax abatements for three 500,000 sqft facilities to manufacture electrical systems for data centers starting Aug.

18 + Faith Technologies expects the project to create 1,153 jobs over 10 years and expand its footprint to nearly 2.4 million sqft.

Olathe Public Schools will present its consolidation plan at the board meeting on Sept.

3 to address falling enrollment and rising costs, as some schools have seen student counts drop from about 800 to 300 (driven by lower birth rates and higher home prices).

Federal officials announced enforcement measures against Olathe Public Schools and Shawnee Mission Public Schools for failing to share key student privacy details (such as different pronoun or name reporting) as required by FERPA.

Braden's Hope for Childhood Cancer, a Johnson County nonprofit, has given over $8.5 million to help fund research for children with cancer over 15 years.

The group will host a parade on Friday, Sept. 4 and an MLB game on Sunday, Sept. 6 to raise awareness.
