The plan reflects state formula impacts, $14 extra per student aid, and changes like excluding virtual students from enrollment. The district touts a 2 percent raise for staff as part of a cautious budget amid flat state funding since 1999.

Residents oppose Southpoint retail near floodplain and wetlands
Lawrence residents led by Candice Davis criticize Collett Associates plan for Southpoint on South Iowa Street. They argue it conflicts with Horizon 2020, requires rezoning and annexation, risks floodplain issues, and could hurt downtown vitality while favoring a park and wetlands access as a better use. They warn against relying on out of town developers and urge preservation of downtown Lawrence’s character and tax investments.
