Superintendent’s Message Hello Lawrence Community, It’s an exciting time in Lawrence as we prepare for the launch of a brand new 2025-26 school year! We are thrilled to welcome our students and families back to school on Wednesday, August 13th, 2025. Our campuses are bustling with activity as we prepare to welcome our students, parents and families to our Lawrence school campuses; we look forward to the many upcoming back-to-school community events across our LPS schools. Please watch for communication from your school Principal with more specific information about activities at your school. This newsletter includes helpful information to support our students, parents and community as we all prepare for a strong start to this upcoming school year, including: daily schedules, school supply lists, and information about how parents
can benefit from accessing Parent Square, a new communication tool designed to streamline school communications for busy families. We look forward to welcoming each and every student through our school doors very soon; we are enriched by the presence, the unique story, talents, and gifts that each child brings to our classrooms and schools. Caring, high-quality public schools are the outgrowth of engaged and supportive communities. Thank you for all you do to support the quality educational experiences of our more than 10,000 students and the remarkable teachers, staff, and leaders who serve them each day.

LAWRENCE PUBLIC SCHOOLS ANNUAL PARENT NOTICES Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Release of Student Directory Information to the Public and/or Military Recruiters) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents* certain rights with respect to their student’s education records. These rights are: (1) The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the school receives a request for access. Parents* should submit to the school principal a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The school will make arrangements for access and notify the parent* of the time and place where the records may be inspected. (2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent* believes are inaccurate. Parents* may ask the school to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate. They should write the school principal, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested by the parents,* the school will notify the parents* of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. (3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the school as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the school board; a person or company with whom the school has contracted to perform a special task
(such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the school discloses education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. For purposes of FERPA, USD 497 has designated certain information as “directory information,” which may be disclosed for any purpose without prior consent. The primary purpose of this designation is for district use of the information in school publications, such as newsletters, drama playbills, recognition listings, graduation programs, sports team rosters and yearbooks. USD 497 considers the following “directory information:” student name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of teams, dates of attendance, honors received, the most recent previous school attended, class designation and photographs. Release of Student Directory Information to Military Recruiters In addition, two federal laws: Section 9528 of ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7908), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (P.L. 107-110), and 10 U.S.C. 503, as amended by section 544, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (P.L. 107-107), require educational agencies to provide military recruiters, upon request, students’ names, addresses and telephone listings. Parents* wishing to withdraw consent

for release of directory information must complete a Non-Disclosure of Student Directory Information form available upon request at any school, the district office and www.usd497.org. USD 497 assumes there is no objection to the release of directory information if this signed form is not returned to the school upon enrollment. 4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by USD 497 to comply with these requirements. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA are: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202-5901. *parents, legal guardians and students 18 or older Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) PPRA affords parents certain rights regarding conduct of surveys, collection and use of information for marketing purposes, and certain physical exams. These include the right to: Consent before students are required to submit to a survey that concerns one or more of the following protected areas if the survey is funded in whole or in part by a program of the U.S. Department of Education: 1. Political affiliations or beliefs of the student or student’s parent; 2. Mental or psychological problems of the student or student’s family; 3. Sex behavior or attitudes; 4. Illegal, anti-social, self incriminating, or demeaning behavior; 5. Critical appraisals of others with whom respondents have close family relationships; 6. Legally recognized privileged relationships, such as with lawyers, doctors, or ministers; 7. Religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs of the student or parents; or 8. Income, other than as required by law to determine program eligibility. Receive notice and an opportunity to opt a student out of – 1. Any other protected information survey, regardless of funding; 2. Any non-emergency, invasive physical exam or
screening required as a condition of attendance, administered by the school or its agent, and not necessary to protect the immediate health and safety of a student, except for hearing, vision, scoliosis screenings, or any physical exam or screening permitted or required under state law; and 3. Activities involving collection, disclosure, or use of personal information obtained from students for marketing or to sell or otherwise distribute the information to others. Inspect, upon request and before administration or use – protected information surveys of students; instruments used to collect personal information from students for any of the above marketing, sales, or other distribution purposes; and instructional material used as part of the educational curriculum. These rights transfer from the parents to a student who is 18 years old or an emancipated minor under state law. Lawrence Public Schools USD 497 has developed and adopted policies, in consultation with parents, regarding these rights, as well as arrangements to protect student privacy in the administration of protected information surveys and the collection, disclosure, or use of personal information for marketing, sales, or other distribution purposes. USD 497 will directly notify parents of these policies at least annually at the start of each school year and after any substantive changes. USD 497 will also directly notify parents of students who are scheduled to participate in the specific activities or surveys and will provide an opportunity to review any pertinent surveys. Parents who believe their rights have been violated may file a complaint with: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-5901. Nondiscrimination Statement Lawrence Public Schools are committed to maintaining a learning environment free from discrimination, insult, intimidation, or harassment for any reason. Discrimination, including acts of harassment, against any individual on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin or disability is prohibited by federal and state law and district policy.
Discrimination, including acts of harassment, against any individual on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, socioeconomic status or physical characteristics is prohibited by district policy thereby making the district complaint procedure available to persons who believe they have experienced such discrimination. Any incident of discrimination, including acts of harassment, shall be promptly reported for investigation and corrective action by the principal or district compliance coordinator. The district is an equal opportunity employer. Persons desiring additional information about this policy or assistance to accommodate individual needs under Title VI, Title IX, Americans with Disability Act, or Section 504 should contact the Superintendent of Schools, 110 McDonald Drive, Lawrence, KS 66044, 785-832-5000. Referrals for Special Education The Lawrence Public Schools are committed to providing an education that appropriately meets the needs of each student. For some students, supportive educational assistance is needed through special education programs and services. The Department of Student Services includes a comprehensive special education program that adheres to the federal regulations included in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Title II, and to the Kansas requirements contained within Article 12 of the Kansas Administrative Regulations. The need for services is determined with parents at each building site and those services are supervised by the building principal or his/her designee. If you believe your child may be in need of special education services, you may initiate a referral to your school’s Special Services Team. Notice of Accessibility Lawrence Public Schools provide services and programs to people with disabilities in the most integrated setting possible. Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Executive Director of Student Services has been appointed as the ADA Coordinator. Please call for information on accessibility, ADA compliance procedures or accommodation requests. In order to facilitate participation, accommodations will be made on an individual basis. If you would like to
attend a Board of Education meeting or other public event of the district and require an accommodation for people with disabilities, please contact the ADA Coordinator at the Lawrence Public Schools, 110 McDonald Drive, Lawrence KS 66044, 785-832-5000 or through the Kansas Relay Center, 1-800-766-3777, at least 48 hours in advance. The ADA Coordinator may refer issues regarding accessibility and accommodations for students to the Department of Student Services. ADA issues regarding employment may be referred to the Human Resources Department by the ADA Coordinator. Section 504 of Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Section 504 prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in any program receiving federal financial assistance. The Act defines a person with a disability as anyone who: 1. has a mental or physical impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities (major life activities include, but are not limited to, activities such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working); 2. has a record of such impairment; or 3. is regarded as having such an impairment. In order to fulfill obligations under Section 504, the Lawrence Public Schools have the responsibility to avoid discrimination in policies and practices regarding its personnel and students. No discrimination against any person with a disability should knowingly be permitted in any of the programs and practices of the school system. The school district has responsibilities under Section 504, which include the obligation to identify, evaluate, and if the student is determined to be eligible under Section 504, to afford access to appropriate educational services. If the parent or guardian disagrees with the determination made by the professional staff of the school district, he/she has a right to a hearing with an impartial hearing officer. If you have questions about Section 504, please contact your school principal.
Early Childhood Screenings Lawrence Public Schools will offer screening for children living in the district who are 5 years of age or younger (as of Aug. 31) and who demonstrate possible delays in one or more areas of development (speech/language, motor, cognitive, sensory, etc.). Appointments are required and can be scheduled by calling Kennedy Early Childhood Center at 785-832-5760. Special Education Statutes, Regulations and Assurances Statutes, regulations, and assurances that govern the administration of special education services can be reviewed at the Educational Support Center (ESC). Public review and comment on federal funds received under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) can also be made at 110 McDonald Drive, Department of Student Services. Public review and comment on the special education budget can be made as part of the district’s budget hearing in August. Annual Notice of Authorized Student Data Disclosures In accordance with the Student Data Privacy Act and board policy IDEA, student data submitted to or maintained in a statewide longitudinal data system may only be disclosed as follows. Such data may be disclosed to: • the authorized personnel of an educational agency or the state board of regents who require disclosures to perform assigned duties; and • the student and the parent or legal guardian of the student, provided the data pertains solely to the student. Student data may be disclosed to authorized personnel of any state agency, or to a service provider of a state agency, educational agency, or school performing instruction, assessment, or longitudinal reporting, provided a data-sharing agreement between the educational agency and other state agency or service provider provides the following: • purpose, scope and duration of the data-sharing agreement; • recipient of student data use such information solely for the purposes specified in agreement; • recipient shall comply with
data access, use, and security restrictions specifically described in agreement; and • student data shall be destroyed when no longer necessary for purposes of the data-sharing agreement or upon expiration of the agreement, whichever occurs first. A service provider engaged to perform a function of instruction may be allowed to retain student transcripts as required by applicable laws and rules and regulations. Unless an adult student or parent or guardian of a minor student provides written consent to disclose personally identifiable student data, student data may only be disclosed to a governmental entity not specified above or any public or private audit and evaluation or research organization if the data is aggregate data. “Aggregate data” means data collected or reported at the group, cohort, or institutional level and which contains no personally identifiable student data. The district may disclose: • student directory information pursuant to FERPA; • any information requiring disclosure pursuant to state statutes; • student data pursuant to any lawful subpoena or court order directing such disclosures; and • student data to a public or private postsecondary educational institution for purposes of application or admission of a student to such postsecondary educational institution with the student’s written consent.
