Lawrence board to decide bond as closures loom
Lawrence school board faces a $59 million bond vote affecting 15 schools including East Heights and Centennial. If approved, East Heights would feed into New York and Centennial into Cordley after bond funded additions. If defeated, the district plans to shutter East Heights and Centennial in May to cut costs, dispersing students to other campuses. The board also seeks $4 million in cuts and will discuss consolidation scenarios with the boundary committee as residents vote.
