Lawrence public and private schools report about 15 percent of K-8 students already walk or bike to school. Health officials note strong interest to expand this, with over 60 percent of near half mile students asking to walk or bike. A 3:30 p.m. info session at West Middle School will present more findings and seek feedback. The district also notes enrollment fell short of projections for 2014-15 with only 41 of expected 220 new brick and mortar students enrolled.
