An Act defining a governing structure for the Lawrence School Board upon the exit of state receivership

This bill establishes a new governing structure for the Lawrence School Board to replace the current state receivership. It creates a seven-member committee composed of three elected officials, three appointed by the City Council with expertise in finance, law, or education, and the mayor serving as chairman. The legislation also details specific rules for filling vacancies, requiring appointed members to have relevant professional backgrounds and setting a thirty-day limit for appointing replacements. These changes aim to restore local control over the city's public schools while ensuring the board includes diverse professional skills.
