Another topic that was brought up during the public comment section was the equity in school which was also brought up earlier on in the meeting. #J415
Many alumni/students shared their own experiences growing up in the district. Both students were passionate about the impact the teachers and staff have on the students and the district. #J415
The board has decided that for at least his following school year any school closures are off the table, and they are looking to have a 7 million dollar budget for the coming year.
One very strong argument is the against the closing of some of the Lawrence neighborhood schools. While trying to find somewhere else besides closing schools to bring the budget up. #J415
