The Lawrence Unit 20 Board of Education met in regular session Wednesday evening at the Lawrenceville High School Library. The board heard about continuing online registration for current students via the Teacherease system and registration for all new district students taking place Thursday August 28th from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. and 3 until 7 p.m. at Parkside Elementary School. In preparation for the new school year, the board did approve the student handbooks for both Parkview Junior High and Lawrenceville High School. They also approved the Unit 20 Return to Learn Plan which covers rules and protocols regarding students and teachers during the school term. The plan will be published and placed on the district website for the public to see. A proposal to establish a Weekly Religious Education (WRE) voluntary program for 5th grade students will be studied and discussed by the board. The program is similar to one established in Red Hill Unit 10. A decision on the proposal could be made in August.
