Lawrence school board approves budget cuts to staff and programs
The Lawrence district plans $133000 for classified salaries and $118000 for IT upgrades, plus cuts including a purchasing director, night supervisor, media clerk and custodians. It will save $579000 by not renewing about 16 teacher contracts and may raise building rents. Ten teachers may retire or resign, so layoffs could be under ten. Supt Weseman urged lobbying legislators to boost state funding to minimize cuts.
