Bishop Miege High School president placed on leave amid safety concerns
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A leader with a local Catholic high school has been placed on leave, the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas said in a statement Friday. Archbishop Shawn McKnight announced that the executive committee of Bishop Miege High School's Board of Trustees decided to place Phil Baniewicz, the school's president, on administrative leave amid reports 'concerning his ability to oversee a safe environment.' The archbishop said he supported the committee's decision 'for the well-being of the school.' Park Hill District partners with Strategos for school protection specialists The leave of absence went into effect Thursday. Meanwhile, the committee has appointed Joe Schramp as interim president of the school, which is located in Roeland Park. In February of 2024, the advocacy group, Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, called on the archdiocese to fire Baniewicz after past allegations. No criminal charges were ever filed, but SNAP stated that Baniewicz was named in a 2005 lawsuit. In response, the archdiocese said at the time that Bishop Miege hired Baniewicz following an 'in-depth vetting process,' including multiple interviews and a background check. Citing personnel matters, the archdiocese said no further information would be provided until an investigation is complete but said that anyone with concerns is asked to call or text the Office for Protection and Care at 913-276-8703 or visit 'Our commitment is to make our schools and parishes places where every child feels safe, supported, and valued. This necessitates not only immediate action when concerns arise but also a continuous evaluation of our policies to ensure we are doing everything possible to prevent harm,' Archbishop McKnight said in a statement. 'Through our efforts of accountability and transparency, we aim to foster trust and to respect the dignity of every person.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Officials launch investigation into false claims of New World screwworm in Missouri
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An investigation is underway after rumors began swirling about a New World screwworm in Missouri, according to the Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA). The Missouri State Highway Patrol's Rural Crimes Investigative Unit (RCIU) and the Livestock and Farm Protection Task Force said they are aware of a false statement made last week regarding New World screwworm in the state. Woman says former firefighter sexually abused her, fears he will avoid punishment According to the USDA, New World screwworm is a devastating pest that can infest livestock, pets, wildlife, occasionally birds – and in rare cases, people; when New World screwworm fly larvae (maggots) burrow into the flesh of a living animal, they cause serious, often deadly damage to the animal. The two groups, along with Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, are currently investigating this matter, according to the MDA. According to the MDA, this investigation is the result of a request on May 28 from Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and MDA Director Chris Chinn to discover the culprit and determine if this was an act with malicious intent to cause panic in agricultural markets. On May 27, the MDA said a false press release was sent to a northwest Missouri radio station. The information was quickly discovered to be false—but not before setting off a frenzy of animal health concerns, market scare and detriment to consumer trust, according to the MDA. This case is considered an open and active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Missouri State Highway Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control at 573-526-6122. RCIU focuses solely on the investigation of crimes unique to the agricultural industry and farming communities within the state of Missouri. Formed in 2009, RCIU was designed after successful undercover efforts that served to address increasing incidents of specific agriculture-related crimes.
