The Lawrence school board now has an equity policy that aims to address educational disparities in the school district.
During a meeting on Monday, the board approved an amended policy with a 6-0 vote. Board member Paula Smith was absent from the meeting.
Board President Kelly Jones said the amendments included using more direct language by changing some wording from “should” to “will,” which was suggested by a student leader. It also includes changes to the Continuous Improvement section of the policy, amending language to allow outside programs such as Parents of Color Advisory Committee, Equity Advisory Council, and Native American Student Services to participate in the district’s work. ....

Members of the Lawrence school board want the school district to investigate whether it should have to pay a nearly half-million-dollar monthly gas bill that the district received following a period of intense cold in February.
The district’s finance director, Kathy Johnson, informed the board of the bill during a study session Monday evening regarding the district’s budget. Johnson said the bill was unexpected and amounted to close to 10 times what the district typically pays per month.
“Our average gas bill is about $54,000 a month, and our gas bill was almost $500,000,” Johnson said. “So it’s 968% over what a normal monthly bill is and not something that we would have budgeted for.” ....

Lawrence school board approves plan to close Kennedy Elementary, use building for early-childhood education community center | News, Sports, Jobs - Lawrence Journal-World: news, information, headlines and events in Lawrence, Kansas


Kennedy Elementary School, 1605 Davis Road
Starting next fall, Lawrence’s Kennedy Elementary will no longer educate K-5 students after the school board approved a plan to close the school.
The Lawrence school district plans to turn the building into an early-childhood education community center, with outside organizations initially providing services. But to make the change possible, Kennedy Elementary’s 185 K-5 students will have to move to three nearby schools Cordley, New York and Prairie Park next school year.
The board voted 6-1 to approve the plan with board member Carole Cadue-Blackwood voting against it Monday night. Board President Kelly Jones said during the meeting she knows the plan causes “grief” among Kennedy families, but she felt the district would take measures to address their concerns. ....

When Melissa Johnson received her first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday, she was surprised, she said.
She was finally feeling some relief amid a global pandemic that has disrupted much of her work as a teacher at Lawrence High School and put her life at risk as an essential worker.
“I’m really happy,” Johnson told the Journal-World a few hours after she received the vaccine, adding that she was taken aback about “how emotional” she became.
Johnson, who teaches English at LHS, was one of many school district staff members whom Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health and the school district are racing to get vaccinated before schools return to fully in-person learning later this month. ....
