Good morning, Lawrence. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 4th of June.

EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ A KU study shows that a teacher and her eighth-grade English class form their own way of thinking about literature using a method called languaging—students use gestures and discussion to build their understanding. Lead researcher Min-Young Kim noted that this approach makes students active partners in constructing their thinking—helping them connect more deeply with the material. University of Kansas
- ➤ Families and former teachers said that special education at Lawrence Public Schools caused years of trauma, with Annette Camlin recounting how her son Calen—who has autism and a chronic health condition—was marked truant and denied needed therapy and accommodations. They reported that persistent understaffing and poor administrative decisions led to ongoing hardships and calls for more support for students with special needs. The Lawrence Times
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Lawrence City Commission voted 3—1 Tuesday to stop livestreaming meetings on YouTube to comply with a new state law taking effect July 1. The meetings will be recorded and posted later while residents can join via Zoom, though some say the feed does not show speakers clearly. The Lawrence Times
