Lawrence school board members held a special meeting on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.

The Lawrence school board held a special meeting on Tuesday — consisting of two closed executive sessions with no action afterward — to discuss its superintendent search with its search committee and search firm, the Kansas Association of School Boards.

Britton Hart from KASB had previously informed the board in January that he would meet with them on Feb. 12 to discuss candidates for the permanent superintendent position. He mentioned at that time that two to four finalists would be interviewed during the week of Feb. 17. The board aims to announce the new superintendent in March.

As the Journal-World has reported, the school board chose KASB in November to help select a new permanent superintendent. KASB had also worked with the school board to select Interim Superintendent Jeanice Swift, who took over after Anthony Lewis resigned from the position last summer.
