KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly announced on Monday the closure of several buildings “out of an abundance of caution” leading up to Inauguration Day.
The Curtis, Landon and Eisenhower state office buildings in the Capitol Complex, along with “additional administration buildings,” will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday, according to a news release. Employees have been instructed to work remotely, and if they are unable to do so, they should not report to work.
“The safety and wellbeing of our employees is my top priority,” Kelly said in the release.
The Kansas Department for Children and Families said in a separate news release that its Topeka and Kansas City, Kansas, centers will also close on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, clients can call 1-888-369-4777 to speak with a DCF worker.
Kansas Chief Justice Marla Luckert said in a release that the Kansas Judicial Center also will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Statehouse will remain open for business purposes.
