TOPEKA - Governor Laura Kelly announced Tuesday that she has ordered state offices in Shawnee County to re-open on Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2025. Governor Kelly previously ordered state offices in Shawnee County closed on Tuesday due to safety concerns regarding potentially hazardous conditions resulting from the winter storm.

“Thanks to the hard work of crews, roadway conditions have improved, and state offices will return to normal operations on Wednesday,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “Please exercise caution when traveling and continue to give crews the necessary space as they keep working to clear roadways.”

Although state offices in Shawnee Country are to re-open Wednesday, employees impacted by the inclement weather such as poor road conditions may be allowed to work remotely if communicated with and approved by their supervisor.
