V. Superintendent Informational Report

Description:
Safety and security continue to be a major focus for the District. Each building is updating its Emergency Operating Plan, with the high school's plan serving as a template for the other buildings. The District is also transitioning to new Standard Response Protocols, adopting the protocols from https://iloveuguys.org/, which are being implemented county-wide. The high school will implement these protocols first, followed by the other buildings. The high school and the middle school will receive safety protocol training from the Berrien County Sheriff's Department in the spring, with elementary schools scheduled for training in the 2025-26 school year.
The District is contracting with Rebecca Fudge to provide leadership training for the administrative team. This training focuses on an understanding of what a professional community is within the District, the power of becoming adaptive as a leader, and how to apply structures and processes for collaborative conversations. Learning together as an administrative team has been great and helps us to become a more collaborative team. We had parent-teacher conferences across the District in November. This is always a great opportunity to build a relationship between teachers and parents that is focused on helping each student achieve their full potential. Our teachers do such a great job of gathering data for conferences and putting in the extra time to ensure a positive experience. The District website has been updated with a new look and feel. I would encourage everyone to check it out at www.lpslancers.net. Notable improvements include more photos and videos, information that is grouped more effectively, quick buttons for the highest trafficked links, and a "sticky bar" that stays at the top of your browser for easier access. And finally, three of our principals attended the annual Michigan Elementary and Middle School Principal’s (MEMSPA) Conference this past week. I am excited to share that Rachel Kyncl was selected as the MEMSPA Region 5 Honoree for 2024. She was selected from all schools within Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren counties. This is a great honor, and we are very proud to share this news! I’d like to wish everyone a fantastic holiday season as this is our last Board meeting for the calendar year! |
