Levy restraint editorial urges careful taxing for Lawrence schools
The Kansas Legislature will let Lawrence school officials raise local property taxes to fund next year’s budget but an editorial argues restraint. State aid adds about 4.3 million to the district’s 616 million operating budget, with potential 960000 more from the local option budget. Weighing bonds, construction incentives, and tax burden, the piece favors prudent restraint while stressing teachers’ salary needs and staffing. Local taxpayers’ goodwill could be preserved by not immediately increasing the LOB levy, barring special circumstances.
