Trustees grapple with trust as Lawrence school district acts
School leaders call for independent crisis support and audits after multiple incidents at Prairie Park. Board President Kelly Jones thanks families and staff while pledging empathy, openness, and continued updates as investigators work with law enforcement and safety protocols. A lawsuit against the district over alleged abuse by Gridley remains active, with Gridley jailed on $1.5 million bond awaiting a March 26 status conference. The board approved Swift as permanent superintendent, calendar for 2025 26, and contracts for tech power supplies, substitute nurses, field equipment, and gym refinishing, while holding two executive sessions on personnel and attorney-client matters.
