School funds

To the editor:

It is logical that the city is considering supplementing the funding of Lawrence school athletics. Athletic field space for Lawrence High School is the hidden agenda behind the closing of Centennial School, against considerations of children’s health, safety, education or the operating costs of the school.

Although one might want to support the supplement because it would release other funds for education, I cannot have any confidence that the present school board majority will use it this way. So, I can’t support this, or the county funding school nurses, or any other diversion, until we have more turnover on our school board.
