New superintendent excited to be back home

LPOSD families and community,

I am thrilled to be back home again and be able to serve as the next superintendent for the Lake Pend Oreille School District. I look forward to reacquainting myself with the community, as well as meeting all of the new folks. It is a special community — small enough to know people by name, diverse enough to enjoy a wide variety of perspectives, and strong enough to always do what is right for kids. I am blessed to be back home again.

Parent-school connections are a key component in creating a quality learning environment for all students. I look forward to working in partnership with our LPOSD families. One of the first items I have been tasked with is to gather stakeholder input to develop a new five-year strategic plan, as the current one is expiring this year. To collect parent and patron input, we will be sending out a survey this fall, as well as hosting community input forums. More information to follow this summer. I also initiated a district safety task force to assess and address school safety and security. After our initial meeting next week, we will create communication lines to keep the parents and community in the loop and gather your input.

I look forward to a strong working relationship,

DR. BECKY MEYER
