Lawrence referendum would add support staff to schools
Lawrence School District 497 faces an April 19 vote on a measure to add three elementary librarians four school nurses and eight elementary counselors plus eight more teachers and salary increases for staff and principals. The plan would cost about an extra 8 mills in property taxes per year for an $80 000 home about 50 dollars annually and would raise average salaries by 14.9 percent over two years with 300 extra dollars per year per employee for health care. Current staff say the expanded roles include AIDS and teen pregnancy instruction counseling for divorcing families and teaching librarians. Nurses would handle immunizations vision tests and scoliosis checks as enrollment grows and more schools open.
