Family follows KU forward Kevin Young to town

Too funny.

I suspect you are right though, no reason for Kevin's mom and brother to remain in town after he finishes his eligibility/school.

Walthall earns All-State

Congrats on your accomplishments Justin. Good luck on the baseball diamond this year and in whatever you do after graduation.

For the rest of the board, adios. I will, unlike some others out there, be leaving the boards and not returning. It's time to hang it up when you have people stalking you when all you really wanted to do was make some people stop and think.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye..........

First Bell: Math medalists add to school board festivities; $5,142 for a hotel?; Reader's Digest hails Homecoming King

Why place it in a story at all? If only one person questioned it, why not simply answer that person directly?

The way it is written makes it look like they were trying to hide something "An astute reader pointed out an interesting expenditure from a board “bank statement reconciliation” report tucked inside a Lawrence school board agenda packet"

It's a non-story that didn't need to be put into print, but then if Mark doesn't try to sensationalize something he might have a hard time justifying his job.

And lest I forget, congrats to Owen on being featured in Reader's Digest, and to Audrey Hughes and Aly Frydman for being instrumental in getting the administration to correct a rule that was just flat out wrong.

Fagan is getting lazy. He did point out that this was paid for by the students attending, but really didn't place enough emphasis on that fact.

Also, a little research would show that staying at the Palmer, or at the very least something within close proximity, is a necessity for achieving the full experience of Model UN.

This is a non-issue that could have been explained directly to the "astute reader" with an e-mail instead of trying to make something out of it by putting it in the blog.

Teachers request $1,500 raises during negotiations with Lawrence school district administrators

I'm not saying I disagree, but that isn't what alpineriver was griping about.

Teachers request $1,500 raises during negotiations with Lawrence school district administrators

"In the district where I grew up, 16 high schools shared three stadiums"
I call BS on this one. What district?

"I guess this district admin. doesn't believe in sharing." - The citizens of Lawrence set themselves up for this one back when the second school was built, though I agree one district complex would have been a better option.

"And don't give me the "different pots of money" nonsense; if it's different pots of money; then the district needs to figure out how to make the system flexible enough to move money around" - it is called state law it isn't the district that needs to figure it out.

It’s the little things: Free State baseball trounces Olathe East, but isn’t perfect

Like I said above though Kenny, if they'd just open it up like they do in Olathe we wouldn't even have to go through these charades. Kids could go to the school of their choice upon entrance of high school. If they want to switch after making their initial choice then they need to have a very good reason for doing so. Heck, your kids could have gone to Free State then and not have to drive from west Lawrence to the eastern side of central Lawrence.

Mom and stepdad - who he lives with - live north of 15th and have for years. He is using the dad and stepmom's address in order to go to LHS.
