Lawrence board opposes bill limiting teachers bargaining rights
Lawrence school board votes unanimously to send a letter opposing House Bill 2085 which would strip teachers of collective bargaining rights and allow nonunion contracts. The measure would remove exclusive bargaining for unions and affect evaluation methods and daily teaching periods. Board members condemn the move as harming education and solidarity. Deena Burnett of the Lawrence Education Association urged backing the letter. No opposition was voiced. The meeting also covered principal candidate interviews, foundation report, Finance Advisory Council update, and National Merit recognitions.

Market parking lot considered for Farmers Market booths
City staff evaluated using the landscaped area of the long term market lot on New Hampshire and Rhode Island streets for market booths, risking loss of 19 to 24 parking spaces and hedge removal. Parks worried about plant health while businesses feared reduced parking. Alternative city lots north of Carnegie Library, at Sixth and Massachusetts, Rhode Island Street block, and Second and Locust were proposed but rejected to keep markets in separate locations. City commissioners planned a 6:35 p.m. meeting, weather could alter plans.
