Take a drive in the countryside northeast of Lawrence, and be prepared to find something that many Lawrence residents likely would deem odd. There, along Kansas Highway 32 in adjacent Leavenworth County — just a bit past Linwood and that community’s livestock auction barn — is a big, new building under construction. It is a new elementary school for the Basehor-Linwood school district. In Lawrence, the idea of needing to build a new elementary school is an odd thought. Talk in recent weeks has been dominated by the idea of closing elementary schools in Lawrence. But others could argue that the oddity isn’t happening near Linwood, but rather in Lawrence.
