Boundary plan rejected by Lawrence school board
Lawrence board votes 4-3 to back administration’s plan to equalize junior high enrollments by moving some Southwest students from South to Central. The move, tied to a 324-signature petition by John Seitz and Lewis Tilford, faced objections over neighborhood disruption and transportation. A smaller change would transfer Pinckney sixth graders to Central, affecting four students. The board postponed a full enrollment solution to next year and shelved transfer solicitations for now.
