VI. Superintendent Informational Report

| Presenter: |
Greg Eding

|
|
Description:
I am excited to share that we now have a Student Representative on the School Board! The Student Success Committee conducted interviews during their last meeting and Kennedy Bowman was selected to serve in this new role.
Natalie Macerata, our Director of Curriculum and Instruction, and I had the opportunity to join several teachers in our District and tour Stewart’s literacy intervention time. It was great to see our teachers and students in action as they worked hard on improving their literacy skills. After the walkthrough, the entire group of teachers had a meeting to discuss what they saw and learned. This was a great day for everyone! On Thursday, October 24th, the District went into a lockdown at all buildings due to a report of a potential threat. This report was later deemed to be fake. There have been several such incidents over the past few years at schools and other venues, with over 50 happening the same day as ours was reported. This type of incident is called Swatting, which is an act of deceiving an emergency service into sending police or emergency personnel to a location, essentially trying to create chaos. We are thankful that this was only a perceived threat, and not a situation that included actual weapons or violence. However, the incident definitely affected the entire community. Overall, we are pleased with the response from our administration team, staff, and students. And we are so thankful for our partnership with Lincoln Township Police and their dedication to the safety and security of our community. Our administration team has done a full debriefing on the incident and will be using our learning to make some improvements. Finally, I’d like to congratulate the Lakeshore High School Marching Band for winning the MCBA Division IV State Title! Mr. Holtgren and I were able to attend and watch their amazing performance. The band won Best Music, Best Visual, Best Color Guard, Best General Effect, and was declared the Overall State Champion in their division. From my vantage point, they easily sounded the best and had the cleanest performance of all the bands we watched. For those interested, I’d suggest checking out the latest Looking Inside Lakeshore Schools podcast that highlights this accomplishment. You can find the link on our website or on our Facebook page. |
