Students in Caney, Kansas were being offered hand sanitizer instead of hand washing, and trailered restrooms rather than showers as water supplies were expected to be exhausted at the end of 2023. Water fountains were shut off, and students were given bottled water. Porta potties will be brought in for athletic events. Caney schools will be moving to a four-day school week starting Oct. 30 as the area struggles to cope with severely depleted water supplies.
