Tonight was an emotional night. West graduation was the end of an era for our family. Our oldest started in Lakota 21 years ago and tonight our youngest graduated from West. I am so grateful for all of the staff and how they have directly impacted my kids, and so many other students. I felt incredibly fortunate as we drove home listening to the banter about favorite teachers along the way. Thank you to all who have helped shape my children into the amazing young adults they now are. Lakota is a special place because of our people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️ 🖤🤍🎓

At our last board work session, our education association asked the board to consider joining them, and other schools, in the Vouchures Hurt Ohio Schools lawsuit. In reviewing the data, we saw a chart that showed that only 5.2% of Lakota voucher recipients are low income qualified which means they earn less than 451% of the federal poverty rate ($144,675 for a family of 4). We wanted to better understand the states position. We scheduled a special board meeting Wednesday, March 12 at 6pm at the Lakota East Freshman building. We are grateful that our State Senator and House Representatives will be joining us via zoom. We’d love to have you join us in person.
I thought the video below shared an interesting perspective on what’s happening in other states.

Will there be a chance for parents to ask questions or raise points? There are a few things that lawmakers need to understand from the deep negative impact of the current voucher system and their planned approach!
