The Lawrence school board voted unanimously to pass a resolution that authorizes and calls for a bond election this spring. The 2017 bond issue, which includes $87 million in improvements to Lawrence’s secondary schools, will now pass to district voters May 2.

The projects outlined in the bond issue, as part of the district’s 2017 Capital Improvement Plan, address the needs of aging middle schools and high schools. The upcoming bond issue follows one passed in 2013 that entailed a $92.5 million renovation of Lawrence’s elementary schools.
