Enrollment trend at KU signals recruitment warning
The Journal-World notes KU fall enrollment slipped less than half a percent to 28,190, with declines at Lawrence and Edwards campuses and the medical center. Freshman numbers fell by 130, while statewide reforms to admissions sparked debate as other Regents schools posted gains. KU should expand outreach statewide, not just in the northeast, to attract Kansas students.

Phonics in Lawrence Public Schools Curriculum Defense
A Lawrence public schools letter argues that phonics is taught in K through 3 as part of a comprehensive reading program. It cites a district initiative four years old, emphasizes components like phonemic awareness and vocabulary, and notes limited resources preclude one on one tutoring while praising explicit instruction and reading growth.
