Lawrence school district told to spend savings
Put some of the money into the teachers' salary schedule. We lose too many teachers to neighboring districts because of low pay in Lawrence. We could fund the teachers' request this year and have money left over. Why should the district have such a large cushion in the first place?

Lawrence district, teachers at odds over raises
If the district pays a set amount to a teacher for health insurance, how does the district save money when the premiums drop? Have the premiums dropped below the set amount the district pays its teachers? Also, does the district pay a set amount to the classified staff for health insurance?

Basketball recruit Angelo Chol to pick between KU, UNC and Arizona Thursday
The Hawks are not the best team in the nation and will not win the title. But, they are so much better than I thought they would be. Three huge holes to fill from last year's team, and the holes have been plugged mainly from last year's roster. Only Selby is new to the team, and he has played in slightly more than half the games. Considering all of the unforeseen circumstances surrounding this year's team, the Hawks have played sensationally. It is such a fun team to watch and root for. Having said that, there are more talented teams.

Bruise cruise: Jayhawks win ‘chippy’ contest vs. Golden Bears
Marcus' flagrant foul will further his reputation as a dirty player. Last night's flagrant foul will alert future refs to watch his play very closely. Look for Morris to spend more time on the bench in future games in foul trouble due to his unnecessary, flagrant foul. And that's The Truth.

Coalition of Kansas school districts files new lawsuit challenging education funding in state
There's more to educating students than raising test scores. When the legislature cut funds to school districts across the state, districts didn't cut their reading or math programs . It was the art programs, the library budgets, the vocal and musical programs, the vo-tech programs. Students need creative outlets and fully-funded libraries with full-time librarians. It's my understanding that some area schools close their libraries half the day - what kind of message is that sending to students?
