At a time when our student population is growing, our district is increasingly challenged in our ability to recruit and retain teachers and staff. As unfilled positions and staff turnover have an impact on education, improved teacher and staff compensation is needed to maintain current class sizes and provide the quality of education that our students deserve.

Our district is committed to delivering a high-quality education. But with increasing pressure on our operating budget, we face challenges in attracting and retaining teachers and staff. On Nov. 7, district voters will consider a 10-year operating levy increase that would generate $450K per year to invest in teacher and staff salaries. Visit TogetherForLPA.org to learn more!

September 20 Community Meeting on November Referendum Parents and community members are invited to a community meeting on Wednesday, September 20 to learn more about the school district’s November referendum. The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. in the Lake Park Audubon High School Theatre. The district is proposing an operating levy increase that would provide an additional $450,000 over the next 10 years.

Dr. Tim Godfrey, Superintendent of Lake Park Audubon Schools, will provide a short presentation on the referendum and respond to questions from community members. The presentation will include information on the challenges the district is facing, the proposed plan to address them, the cost and tax impact of the plan, and how residents can make their voice heard by voting on this important community decision.

Announcement
At Lake Park Audubon, we aim to educate our students in a positive, supportive and innovative environment, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to succeed in their futures. Our teachers and staff are essential to achieving these goals. As operational costs have risen significantly faster than education funding from the state, our district has struggled to offer competitive compensation for our teachers and staff. Ensuring we have teachers and staff to maintain small class sizes and provide better academic outcomes is vital as our student population is projected to grow 5% in the next five years. Learn more about the challenges our district faces at TogetherForLPA.org/challenges.
