Shortly after 3PM we were made aware of a safety concern in our community. With limited information at a critical time, the district selected to hold all walkers and bus riders and implemented a controlled release of students to parents as we sought to learn more information.  With guidance from local Emergency Management and Law Enforcement, bus routes were resumed.

It has come to our attention that the safety concern has resulted in a tragic loss of life. In response, each school in the district will have members of the Crisis Team to support students and staff through this challenging situation. Members of the team urge us to remember that reactions to such a tragedy are varied. If your child needs support you can assist them by taking time to listen and talk with them.  We will have counselors available at school tomorrow for those individuals who may wish to access in-school support.

As always, safety is our top priority and we appreciate your patience as we worked through today’s event. 

Thank you, 

Lake County School District

If you received a dinner meal from Lake County School District on Jan. 6, 2021, enclosed in that meal were chicken strips that are uncooked. See photo below.

Please use the following instructions to fully cook these items:

· Preheat oven to 375 degrees

· Place chicken tenders on baking sheet in single layer

· Bake 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature is 165 degrees or more

Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

If the chicken strips have not been refrigerated, do not consume and dispose of immediately.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Julie Mehle at 719-293-1040

Dear Lake County Community,

The Lake County School Board has two openings. We will be appointing two new members to the board to complete the current terms that expire November 2021 at which point candidates may choose to run for election.

If you are interested, please submit a letter of intention to the District Office (328 West 5th St.) by January 22nd. You may address this letter to the Lake County Board of Education.

The letter should address four questions:

1) Why do you want to join the school board?

2) What perspective and experience would you bring to the school board?

3) What do you think are important issues facing the school district?

4) What is your vision for the Lake County schools? (I.e. where should we be five years from now?)

Alternatively, you may call Eudelia Contreras to verbally express interest and she will be able to put you in contact with someone to provide assistance in the process.

We will review letters and conduct interviews at the special meeting on January 26 (5 PM District Office/Zoom). We hope to seat new board members at the Feb. 9, 2021 meeting and will be sworn in at this time.

Who can be a school board member?

A school board member must be:

1) registered to vote in Lake County for 12 months before becoming a school board member

2) a resident of Lake County

A school board member may not:

1) work full time for the school district
