Day care for Lawrence High students faces tough look
Lawrence school board weighs establishing a day care center near the high school for nine infants and 10 toddlers. The SHS Child Care Center Committee seeks a $60,000 SRS grant for three months to launch, aiming to let teenage mothers finish high school. Spaces prioritize students and district staff, with tuition expected from users and possible in-kind district support. The plan invites debate over teen parenthood incentives but argues the program can improve graduation rates and long term community welfare.
