Lawrence School Board Meets on Taxes and AI | Lawrence News

Lawrence school board gears up for a pivotal budget meeting where they’ll vote on a slightly lowered property tax rate — but don’t expect relief, as rising home values mean most homeowners still face higher bills. Beyond taxes, the board tackles AI in schools and finalizes strict social media rules for staff, banning private DMs to students. Meanwhile, the district continues skipping public comment periods — a trend locals are watching closely. Outside the boardroom, Lawrence buzzes with new businesses, winding down road closures, and reviving Watson Park’s basketball court. Arts lovers get excited too: the Lawrence Arts Center unveils its next printmaking and ceramics residencies, while the Watkins Museum brings a major 19th-century artwork to town for a special show.
