Bond support grows as consolidation plan stalls in Lawrence
Central and East Lawrence Elementary Consolidation Working Group backs preparing a bond issue to upgrade roofs and classrooms, while choosing two or three consolidation candidates. They warn closing schools could hinder public support for the bond, even as state budget cuts strain the district and the board weighs shrinking the 14 elementary schools to 11 or 12. Kelly Jones of Cordley stresses that even if the group’s charge is flawed, a bond is still desired.
