Good morning, Lawrence.

The southbound K-10 exit ramp to West Sixth Street in Lawrence will be closed from March 12 until early June 2025 for an expansion project.

The Lawrence school board unanimously approved the 2025-26 districtwide calendar, which synchronizes schedules across all school levels, increases daily instructional time, and introduces a new strategy for handling inclement weather days.

The Lawrence school district plans to compensate for nine inclement weather cancellations by extending school days and adding extra days at the year's end.

The Lawrence school board unanimously approved a contract for Jeanice Swift as superintendent of Lawrence Public Schools with a term from July 2023 to June 2028, and an annual salary of $235,000 plus benefits.

Lawrence is using a cost-effective but potentially health-risking method, CIPP, for repairing sewer pipes, despite concerns over chemical emissions.
