Volunteers sought for advisory councils
The Lawrence school district is looking for community volunteers for two advisory committees. The equity council is looking for contributors, as is the finance advisory council. The equity council meets at 6:30 p.m. the third Wednesday of the month, and the finance group will meet monthly, on a day to be determined.
The finance council is particularly looking for volunteers with accounting or auditing experience.
Applications are due by the end of this month and are available on the district’s website, usd497.org.
For more information about the equity council, contact Anna Stubblefield at 330-1760; for the finance advisory council, contact Kyle Hayden at 330-4309.
