Board to consider do-not-resuscitate policy

Lawrence’s school board meets Monday night to consider adopting a controversial policy honoring do-not-resuscitate orders for medically fragile students.

The school board, after two years of wrangling on the subject, is expected to give preliminary approval Monday night to rules requiring DNR orders be honored by 1,700 employees.

The Lawrence Police and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical officials have told district officials they will collaborate on the policy.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Monday at the board’s offices at 110 McDonald Drive.
