Board member walks out over study session scheduling
Lawrence school board member Leonard Ortiz left the meeting mid discussion asserting unfair treatment by staff and peers. The disruption followed a plan to hold a study session around board member Sue Morgan’s availability, prompting the district to cancel the session and reschedule later in the month. The superintendent noted 48 hour notice is required under the Kansas Open Meetings Act. Ortiz said he felt undervalued and wanted seven members present. Linda Robinson described the situation as unusual but workable.
