Lawson project on track for completion this summer The Leavenworth Times The new early education center for Leavenworth public schools is on track to be completed by this summer, the superintendent said. “This project has truly run ahead of schedule most of the time,” Mike Roth said. The superintendent said the Earl Lawson Early Education Center is scheduled for what is referred to as substantial completion by mid-July. But Roth said the project may be completed much earlier. Roth recently provided an update about the project to members of the Leavenworth Board of Education. The former Earl Lawson Elementary School is being converted into the Earl Lawson Early Education Center as a result of a $36.7 million bond issue that was approved by voters in 2018.
