LCSD Volunteer Stakeholder Committees opportunity!
Dear LCSD Parents, Caregivers & Community Members:
I hope this finds you well and having enjoyed a great second week of school! It’s been so much fun to see students back in our buildings learning and engaging. I am writing today to invite you to join one of our LCSD volunteer stakeholder committees this year; parent and community involvement is critical to the success of our work. These committees are a great way to be involved further in the strategic direction of the district. Below are descriptions of the committees we are recruiting for, and how to join.
We welcome all stakeholders to join these committees. The application forms below are available in English and Spanish, and interpretation will be provided at meetings as needed. We want to hear your input, we need your help, and we value your collaboration!
Cheers,
Kate Bartlett, Superintendent
