Lawrence School Board seeks tax appeals to fund programs
The Lawrence School District 497 board approved preparations for budget appeals to the State Board of Tax Appeals to maintain current programs. Assistant superintendent Kenneth Fisher outlined needs of $90,000 for transportation $122,000 for special education and $10,000 for vocational education to keep services at present levels while noting the state plan timing and potential mill impacts. The district may also raise local mill levies modestly and expects real property tax relief through changes in the county foundation levy. The board added Edgewood Housing Development residents to the East Heights attendance area and approved 816 steel lockers for South Junior High at $13,196.
