Campbell leads in race for State Board of Education

Campbell reported 13,518 raised and 12,101 spent from July 27 to Oct. 25, mostly on advertising and printing, while challenger Jack Wu reported no fundraising activity. Campbell is a Democrat seeking a second term. Wu is a Republican newcomer and Westboro Baptist Church member who has attracted coverage at forums calling evolution "a lie from the devil."

Architect Wilkins from Gould Evans outlines a master plan to upgrade six central and East Lawrence elementary schools. Plans propose combining three rooms into two to gain breakout spaces, add restrooms near classrooms, and create secure entrances. Enrollments have shifted with declines at Cordley New York Pinckney and Sunset Hill, while Hillcrest and Kennedy rise, guiding decisions on facility expansion and bond funding slated for April elections.
