No matter how it's redrawn it's a travesty to the kids, families and schools of Phelps and Lawrence if Lawrence remains in the 60th.
If they stay in the 60th it's nothing but politics pure and simple. It's almost two hour drive for kids and families.

Let's see here.....it's bad for Phelps to travel to Lawrence.....bare with me on this:

Jackson County HS - 2 hr 59 min
Riverside Christian - 2 hr 25 min
Raceland - 2 hr 31 min
Fairview - 2 hr 18 min


These are some of the games that Phelps has on their basketball schedule this year. Notice that they are ALL further than coming to Lawrence....which is just ONE TRIP per season (and they play the girls/boys on the same night to cut down on travel, correct?)

Travel should not be used for any justification for anything. These 15th region teams all play each other anyways, and secondly, as sighted above, teams go WAAAYYY further than that to play other teams.
