Take a moment to explore the latest happenings within our school district! This publication highlights each of our LC Board of Education meetings. Be sure to keep an eye out for highlighted features of each of our schools and their students throughout the year!
As we begin this school year, we celebrated our school district's summer achievements! The board presented the LC Food Service staff with certificates for providing over 57,000 meals to our LC families. Blaine Middle School celebrated with an open house to welcome the STAR Academy, which awarded a $1,000,000 grant to enhance 7th- and 8th-grade classes. The Back-to-School luncheon was also a profound success, uniting our teachers and staff throughout the district. The Lawrence County Professional Learning Conference 7.0 (LCPLC) offered sessions that taught positive, proven teaching techniques.
As we kick-start the new school year, we are excited to announce the start of design schematics and renovation work for Louisa East and the new Louisa West (formerly the LC Community Center). This initiative will create space for a first-grade wing at LEES. Additionally, our LWES preschool and kindergarten will transition into their newly renovated building. We can’t wait to provide these upgraded facilities to our students and families!
Stay tuned for more news from LC Schools! As a reminder, our next regular board meeting is scheduled for September 21st at the LCHS library. #LCisHome

LC Schools has been selected to receive a $10,000 Grant Award for the 2026-2027 WHAS Crusade for Children! This generous grant will be used to support sensory-support classrooms, enabling children with unique abilities to unlock their full potential and lead lives filled with endless possibilities!
Mrs. Jamie Russell, LC Schools Director of Special Education & Preschool,
shared her excitement, saying, “We are truly grateful to the WHAS Crusade for Children for its support.
This grant will provide much-needed sensory supports that will help our students feel safe, regulated, and
ready to learn!”
The WHAS letters represent the call signs of WHAS-TV, a radio and television station located in Louisville, KY. Established in 1954, this annual charitable campaign serves as a public mission dedicated to raising funds for children with special needs, as well as addressing their health care, educational, and emotional wellness needs. LC Schools is grateful for their generosity and commitment to supporting the needs of children within our school system.

If you've recently traveled along Bulldog Lane between Louisa Middle School and LCHS, you may have noticed some excavation work conducted by our LC School Maintenance Department! They are currently installing drains and adding gravel to create a safe walkway for our students on campus. We value the dedication of our maintenance staff and appreciate their swift progress on this important project for our students. #LCisHome

The first few days of school are always a busy time for transportation. Bus routes, stops, and arrival times may take a little time to settle into a consistent routine. We appreciate our families' patience and understanding as our drivers work hard to transport every student safely and efficiently.
A few reminders for families:
🚌 Please have students at their bus stop at least 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
🚌 During the first several days, buses may run earlier or later than expected as drivers become familiar with their routes and students.
🚌 Please remind students to follow the driver’s instructions and practice safe, respectful behavior while riding the bus.
🚌 Drivers will be especially careful with younger students and new riders as everyone becomes familiar with their stops and routines.
Our bus drivers and transportation staff carry an important responsibility each day, and student safety will always be our top priority. We ask everyone to be patient with our buses on the road and to remember to STOP when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended.
Thank you to our drivers, transportation staff, school personnel, parents, and guardians for working together to make the start of the school year safe and successful. As always, my door is open if you have questions or concerns.
We look forward to a great year and many safe miles ahead! 🚌📚

Transportation Director
