Lawrence school board adopts budget for 2013 2014
The Lawrence school board approved a budget for the 2013 2014 year allowing up to an 18 percent spending increase though officials expect actual growth to be far lower. The vote was 6 to 0 with Keith Diaz Moore absent. Finance Director Kathy Johnson outlined the first detailed public presentation since publishing a two page Code 99 form summary of spending totals and tax levy. Johnson said actual increases have averaged 3 to 5 percent recently and are expected to stay in that range next year. Board Vice President Shannon Kimball praised efficiency as the district does more with less from the state.
