Louisa East is delighted to introduce its new up-and-coming artist, Lincoln Shannon! Ms. Mary Shannon, a LEES instructional assistant, shared Lincoln’s story with us. “He didn’t seem to like recess very much. So, his mom mentioned to me that he liked sidewalk chalk. I brought some the next day, and he drew the bulldog picture. I just thought it would be an awesome idea for a Bulldog shirt. So, I sent it to a company, and they put it on a shirt for us. They are still available to purchase!” The LEES school community is in love with Lincoln's t-shirt design, and we appreciate Ms. Shannon’s quick thinking and action in getting the design on t-shirts! If you would like to purchase a t-shirt with Lincoln’s signature bulldog design, here is the link: https://www.poshpugboutique.com/product/hand-drawn-bulldogs/MBN757UB73XFK7ZC7PWCBYUS?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false.

At our Board of Education meeting last week, the LC Board set the new property tax rate at 62.0 cents for every $100 of property value. This is a small increase (from 58.9), which comes to about $31 more per year for a home valued at $100,000. This small increase is important because it makes the Lawrence County school buildings eligible to receive matching funds from the state for use on facilities. Only 0.1 cents of the increase is recallable, which would be about $1 for every $100,000 of assessed property value for a year. If this amount were to be recalled, LC would not receive those matching funds from the state to use on school buildings.
