Lawrence school board eyes transparency and new goals
The board agreed to set two goals for 2017 2018 including creating a culture of transparency and completing a special education improvement plan. They discussed joint meetings with the City and County Commissions to coordinate student transportation and start times, plus expanded after school meals and a second breakfast option. The final plan will be developed after the new superintendent takes office, with a budget hearing planned for August pending the Kansas Supreme Court ruling on the new K 12 finance law.
