This is Kansas City Today. I'm Noah Taburda. Today is Wednesday, September ninth. Coming up, Kansas Senator Roger Marshall, a practicing obstetrician gynecologist, sued some of his patients over their medical debt. A New York Times health reporter found dozens of people were arrested over what they owed. But first, some headlines. Kansas State Board of Education members got their first look Tuesday at a draft policy on the use of technology in the classroom, KMUW's Daniel Coddle reports.
With Kansas banning student cell phones this year, education officials are now discussing policy around school-owned devices. Kansas Education Commissioner Jake Steele is proposing a requirement that each school district adopt policies governing the use of technology in class. Steele says each district's policies would have to address how students at each grade level use school-owned computers and whether they use them at home. And you are letting them make the choice as a local system, but you are requiring them to tell you very specific information that you think is necessary if they're making that choice. Districts would have to periodically review their policies with teachers and parents. The board will continue discussing the proposal and its implementation this week.
Kansas officials are defending Bombardier's presence in the state following President Trump's threat to ban the Canadian aircraft manufacturer from the U.S. market. Jennifer Anima of the Kansas News.
Service reports. In a post on his social media platform Trude Social, Trump said the aircraft company's products, quote, aren't good enough and should not be sold in the country. Several state officials and candidates have criticized the post, including prominent Republicans. In a post on Facebook, GOP Senator Roger Marshall said he has expressed concerns to the Oval Office and would fight to keep bombardier's over 1,200. Madrid, Kansas jobs.

For the Kansas News Service, I'm Jennifer Anima in Wichita.
The United States Supreme Court rejected Missouri Republicans' last-ditch effort to use the map they drew last year to give Republicans one more congressional seat in this year's midterm elections. An order from United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh kept the Missouri Supreme Court's decision in place. Last week, the state supreme court declared voters have the final say on if the new map should be adopted. That decision kept the twenty twenty two map in place for midterms, and all but guarantees Democratic Representative Emmanuel Cleaver will keep his Kansas City seat. The new map redrew his district to favor Republicans. A federal judge in the Eastern District of Missouri has issued a temporary restraining order in a lawsuit filed by two candidates that would keep the 2025 maps in place.
That is still pending, though a lawyer for the Democrats says a federal district judge cannot overrule the state Supreme Court. Even so, Republican Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said the state would be prepared to follow the judge's order, and as of Tuesday evening, it wasn't clear how the conflict was resolved. More of Kansas City today, after this.
