District weighs Clinton Parkway building sale over offer from Unity Church
Lawrence school board debates selling the former administration building at 3705 Clinton Parkway for 905000. With a 1991 purchase cost of 600000 and 310000 in renovations, trustees question market value and whether to sell or repurpose. A comprehensive facilities plan is urged before any decision, as funds tied to capital outlay and potential alternative high school use loom.
