Board votes shape Lawrence school closures and pacing
School board president Shannon Kimball urged caution as directors rejected closing Woodlawn Elementary and approved delaying a plan to repurpose Liberty Memorial Central Middle School. The board also moved to cut up to 50 teachers and raise class sizes, with meetings on boundary redraws and public hearings set for March. Transportation costs and river crossing safety were central concerns for Woodlawn families.
