Superintendent Katie Kordel told the Board the district "had an excellent start to the school year on August 8th." She expressed gratitude to staff and noted that the opening was especially meaningful for kindergarten students and seniors participating in the Senior Walk.
Kordel emphasized that "attendance is crucial to student learning," urged parents, students and staff to report safety or security concerns to teachers or administrators, and said cellphones can be a distraction that "do not align with the exemplary behavior we strive for in Lovejoy." She referenced state funding challenges as context for the district's appreciation of staff commitment.
