Schools shuffle classes amid construction delays
Two Lawrence area districts report construction delays from material shortages and subcontractor slowdowns. In Oskaloosa, science and music rooms lag about a month, forcing students into shared labs and hallways while renovations finish. In Perry-Lecompton, Perry Middle additions near completion face late installation of lockers and partitions, with the district weighing a $200 per day late fee if delays persist.
