The Lawrence school district made two administrative appointments Monday, including a new leader for Lawrence High School.
The district announced in a news release that Jessica Bassett would be the next principal of the high school beginning July 1. Bassett is currently the principal of Southeast High School in Kansas City, Mo. She will succeed Cynthia Johnson, who has served as interim principal since 2019. LHS serves about 1,600 students between ninth and 12th grades.
The district also announced that Larry Englebrick would become the next executive director of facilities and operations on March 15. Englebrick is currently the director of facilities and operations for the Kansas City, Mo., school district.
The Michigan State Legislature, under the leadership of Mike Shirkey and Lee Chatfield has furthered the ‘boys club’ misogyny that has been present for years, its leaders have actively supported the insurrectionist militias that have attacked the Michigan and U.S. Capitol buildings, and has been incredibly backward in its view of LGBTQ+ rights. It being February, and Black History Month, it is worth pointing out that the policies, words, and actions that the Michigan legislature has taken over the last several years have also disproportionately negatively affected people of color, as well.
This should not come as a surprise. Within the Senate Republican caucus, there is not a single person of color. Within the House Republican caucus, there is also not a single person of color. There are literally no BIPOC in either room of the majority caucuses in the Michigan Legislature.
