Lawrence High School plans spring construction for renovations including a larger cafeteria, new library, and commons area while few new classrooms are added. Overcrowding will persist next year as some staff are displaced to trailers and at least 50 parking spaces will be taken by equipment.
Local readers argue that removing 50 of 600 parking spaces at LHS will worsen daily congestion around the campus. They urge the school board to fund a new lot before renovations proceed, prioritizing current students and the immediate impact on parking.
LHS students Anthony Vann Sara Garvin and Kim Price voice opposing views on paying at risk students to attend class. They argue education should be self motivated and job performance later could be harmed by payment. Photos by Paula Eskitch and question by Tonya Mitchell.
