Brown County Courthouse
(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission adopted a charter resolution Monday exempting the county from the required annual sanitary inspections of schools by the local health department.
Kristina Henry with the Northeast Kansas Multi-County Health Department meet with the Commission via Zoom to request they adopt the resolution.
Henry said the Kansas Legislature passed legislation in 2024 giving counties the option of opting out of doing the annual inspections.
She said the department's nurses have not received the training needed to conduct the inspections, and schools are already inspected by the state Department of Education.
In addition, Henry said they don't have the authority to make schools change anything.
The resolution must be published for two consecutive weeks and will take effect 60 days after the final publication unless a valid protest petition is filed.
