Steve Jacobson notes tense climates elsewhere but KU shows no recent incidents. Initiatives include Jewish Student Council Hawkpac and Jewish Feminists of EU plus efforts to build ties with Black students.

District Seeks New Junior High Curriculum Upgrading
Lawrence moves ahead with a district-wide curriculum project affecting 2200 students and 4000 plus parents. Randy Weseman outlines remaining tasks including designing seventh grade courses and two new Challenge Seminar tracks using university and business partners. If successful, seminars may expand to eighth and ninth grades. Teachers refine course descriptions and a master daily schedule to fit eight time slots while avoiding elective conflicts.
