Lawrence considers closing schools amid funding cuts, enrollment decline

Lawrence Public Schools is considering closing schools to keep up with funding cuts due in part to declining enrollment. District leaders say four scenarios are on the table for the Board of Education to deal with this. All involve closing schools and/or shuffling students to other schools in the district. “I want to reiterate again, these are only scenarios, starting points,” said Dr. Larry Englebrick, the district’s interim chief operations officer. “No decisions have been made; no recommendations have been made.” Englebrick made the comments at a Boundary Advisory Committee meeting Wednesday.
