Lawrence begins community-driven turnaround-plan renewal

Lawrence Public Schools · Jun 3, 2026

What happened

While the district remains under state receivership, Lawrence launched bilingual family, student, staff, and community engagement to renew the turnaround plan that will guide the district through 2029.

Why it matters to families

The turnaround plan sets the district's goals, accountability measures, and authority structure; the engagement plan says community feedback will map directly to revisions before receiver approval.

The evidence

The June 3 stakeholder-engagement plan identifies the audiences, bilingual survey and meetings, traceable revision process, and an August target for presenting the renewed plan to the receiver.
