Timing debate on Lawrence mid high plan raises questions
Lawrence school board will discuss proposed ninth and tenth grade split with 11th and 12th at Free State High School, a plan already rejected by voters and supported by administration. Kerry Altenbernd pushes for a referendum and mid level reorganization, though construction and prior decisions limit further action. Opponents urge focusing on opening Free State High and avoiding rehashing a settled issue.
