On behalf of our Board of Education, district administration, building administrators and district faculty and staff, I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to the Lawrence community for approving our 2024-2025 budget and capital project propositions. With this budget, we can continue to provide the highest quality education our students deserve.
Together, we are investing in our children's future and giving them the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in their future endeavors and wherever their passions and interests may lead them.
Thank you for your trust and commitment to our schools and our students. We are looking forward to the final weeks of this academic year and to another year of growth and success in reaching wildly important goals !
