You know what’s awesome? Recess. But many of our playgrounds need upgrades, such as new slides, swings and more shade to keep kids cool and safe.
That’s where the general obligation bond and mill levy renewal come in. These funds help schools improve playgrounds and create better learning environments for our students.
Election Day: November 4
Early Voting: October 7–November 4
When you head to the polls, remember—you're voting for our kids’ future.

Congratulations to Michelle Ronga, LCPS Executive Director of Athletics, on being named the NMAA Southwest Athletic Director of the Year. Michelle was recognized during this week’s Board of Education regular session for her outstanding leadership and contributions to our district.
“In the world of sports, it’s rare for a rookie to come off the bench and immediately play like an MVP. But in her very first year as Executive Director of Athletics, Michelle Ronga did just that, quickly rising to the top of her game. With a heart for students, a playbook full of innovative ideas, and a vision that treats athletics as an extension of the classroom, Michelle earned the respect of her peers and was honored this summer with the Southwest Region Athletic Director of the Year award. Congratulations, Michelle, you’ve proven that even rookies can lead the league!”
