Yes for Lawrence backs Lawrence school bond proposal
Two Lawrence politicians Rep. Paul Davis and Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger will co chair a new political action committee Yes for Lawrence to back the district's 92.5 million bond issue. The effort aims to convince all residents, not just parents, that funding would upgrade 14 elementary schools, expand career tech programs, and improve technology without a tax increase as old bonds are retired. The district hopes to raise about 15,000 for the campaign with a fundraising start and a public website and Facebook page for volunteers.
