Referendum update
Summer 2018 plans include work on the modulars at all four elementary schools and the vestibules at Slackwood, Lawrence Middle School, Eldridge Park, and Lawrence Intermediate School. Bids were issued to general contractors for these projects. We rejected all bids as they came in too high, largely due to the cost of metal increasing 60%. We will go out to bid again and will reissue them to window contractors specifically.
Business Administrator Tom Eldridge reported this information at the June 13, 2018 Board of Education meeting.

Distracted driving demo
Historically, Lawrence High School (LHS), in conjunction with our local police department and emergency responders, holds a distracted driving demonstration the morning of the prom. The demo is strikingly realistic and is meant to encourage good decisions and safe driving.
After the program involving the cars and accident, a courtroom scene, complete with distraught "parents" of injured or deceased children and attorneys, is conducted in the LHS auditorium. We are especially appreciative of the coordinated efforts of our township police and emergency responders for providing visuals of the seriousness of distracted driving. View a video of the June 8 demo here.
