KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A suburban Kansas City, Missouri, man accused of hitting a family’s vehicle while fleeing from police, fatally injuring a 9-year-old boy, now faces a manslaughter charge.

Jackson County prosecutors on Monday added the first-degree involuntary manslaughter count against Kaveon Cottonham of Grandview, reflecting last week’s death of 9-year-old Aaron Cordell Shanklin-James. He also faces previously filed charges of assault and leaving an accident scene.

Court records allege Cottonham last Wednesday sped away when a police vehicle responding to a call tried to pass him. A witness told police that Cottonham panicked because he thought the officer was trying to pull him over.

Cottonham’s vehicle then hit a vehicle occupied by Aaron, his father, pregnant mother and grandfather.

No attorney is listed for him in online court records.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Attorneys for Kansas face an often skeptical state Supreme Court as they prepare to argue that legislators boosted spending on public schools enough this year to provide a suitable education to all children.

The high court is hearing arguments Tuesday from attorneys about a new school finance law phasing in a $293 million increase in education funding over two years. The justices ruled in March that the state’s then-$4 billion a year in aid to its 286 school districts was inadequate.

It was the latest in a string of decisions favoring four school districts that sued Kansas in 2010.

The state argues that the increase is sizeable and new dollars are targeted toward helping under-performing students.

Lawyers for the school districts argue that lawmakers fell at least $600 million short.

NEW YORK (AP) — The maker of Sabrett hot dogs is recalling more than 7 million pounds of hot dogs because they may contain bone fragments.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of products made by New York City-based Marathon Enterprises Inc. on Saturday.

The recall affects beef and pork hot dogs and sausages produced on various dates between March 17 and July 4. The USDA recall said the items were shipped to retail and institutiona locations nationwide.

The food-safety agency says the products subject to recall are stamped “EST. 8854” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The agency says the recalled products have been blamed for one minor oral injury.

Consumers who purchased the hot dogs are urged to throw them away or return them to the store where they bought them.

NEW YORK (AP) — Subway wants to freshen up the look of its stores as it tries to stem a sales decline.

The sandwich chain says the redesign includes a brighter atmosphere, displays of vegetables behind the counter and ordering tablets.

It’s the first major revamp since the early 2000s. The changes will take place as stores around the country are remodeled and new ones are built.

Subway’s sales have fallen for four straight years as it faces competition from places including Jimmy John’s and Firehouse Subs. That has pressured franchisees, who have not yet been told how much the redesign will cost.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Technology companies and civil liberties groups have joined Facebook in a fight over government access to social media accounts.

The Washington Post reports that the timing of the government’s request and other references in court documents suggest the search warrants relate to demonstrations during President Donald Trump’s inauguration, when more than 200 people were charged with rioting.

A court order blocks Facebook from letting users know when law enforcement investigators ask to search their online information, particularly their political affiliations and comments.

Facebook argues the court order violates First Amendment protections of the company and individuals.

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment on the case, which is in the D.C. Court of Appeals.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — City leaders in Missouri’s capital are hoping that new legislation will help rejuvenate the state’s former prison and the largely dilapidated area around it.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Gov. Eric Greitens signed a measure last week turning over 32 acres of state-owned land to Jefferson City. The city plans to build roads, hotels and new housing in the shadow of the old Missouri State Penitentiary, which closed in 2004.

Greitens says the redevelopment will help create jobs with higher pay to attract more people to the area, which had been considered a manufacturing hub due to cheap inmate labor.

The former prison is now considered a tourist destination for visitors who want history tours during the day or ghost tours at night.

ASHLAND, Mo. (AP) — A central Missouri man has been awarded nearly $45 million after a judge found a recreation business liable for injuries he suffered that left him quadriplegic for life.

Court records show 25-year-old Derek Hart was severely and permanently injured while playing at Knockerball Mid-MO in December 2016.

The News Tribune reports that Knockerball, also widely known as “bubble soccer,” allows players to participate in a high-contact game cushioned by an inflatable plastic bubble surrounding them. The franchise Hart was injured at opened at Capital Mall in November 2016.

A review of damages shows Hart has sustained nearly $20 million due to a fracture and spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed.

Hart has also filed a separate lawsuit regarding his injuries that is still pending in court.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Health officials confirm there’s been a case of measles in southern Kansas.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Sedgwick County Division of Health tell The Wichita Eagle that a number of people may have been exposed to the contagious illness.

The state health department has created a list of Wichita-area locations and dates where people may have been exposed. It asks residents who were in those areas to call the department for further evaluation.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says infected people can spread measles to others from about four days before the rash appears to four days after.

The CDC says infants younger than 12 months, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are at high risk of complications from measles.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A disciplinary agency that oversees attorneys has opened a formal investigation against Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach for alleged misconduct in voting rights cases.

A letter obtained by The Associated Press shows the Office of Disciplinary Administration decided to investigate the Kansas Republican following a complaint brought by Washburn University student Keri Strahler.

Kobach’s office says they are reviewing it and have no comment.

Each year the disciplinary agency receives about 800 complaints against attorneys, and opens investigations in about one-third of them.

Among the allegations cited in the complaint is a recent decision by U.S. Magistrate Judge James O’Hara, who ruled Kobach’s “deceptive conduct and lack of candor” warranted sanctions. O’Hara fined him $1,000 and ordered Kobach to submit to a deposition.
