Editorial urges restraint as Lawrence plans the 2005-06 district budget. The board seeks maximum revenue from new state authority, raising local option to 27 percent and capital outlay to 8 mills. Tax impact would rise to $578 per $100k, sparking concern over a potential 13.4 percent teacher salary hike. A measured approach balancing school funding and taxpayer burden is urged.
