Lawrence Public Schools announced that assistant superintendent Adam Holden will resign effective June 30 after his first year in the district. He cited personal family reasons and thanked the district for opportunities and support while noting the decision stems from personal need, not professional concerns.
At the Kansas Law Enforcement Memorial service at the Statehouse Topeka officers Cpl. David Gogian and Jeff Atherly were added to 269 names. Gov. Brownback and AG Derek Schmidt attended as hundreds gathered to honor officers shot last December during a supermarket drug activity check.
Columnist Dolph C. Simons Jr. argues Lawrence is slipping as a business center with poor five and ten year growth metrics. He cites Milken Institute rankings placing Lawrence 178th of 179 small metros, a drop of 79 spots, and questions spending priorities and complacency amid a strong university presence and resources.
Commentary notes Lawrence retains water and a strong university but lags peers in growth. It lists $18 million library expansion, $40 million EU track complex, $25 million recreation center, $64 million sewage plant, $37 million water projects, and up to $40 million for police upgrades. It questions voter turnout, civic leadership, and consensus as Lawrence slips in national rankings.
