Lakota Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer Adam Zink presented the five-year forecast to the Board of Education at its Nov. 18, 2024 meeting. “As always, the forecast is a forecast; It will change by May,” said Zink, referring to the next time the Board will approve a forecast. In addition to the board presentation, a detailed summary of the forecast is available on the Finance website.

Nearly 850 people completed the district communications survey administered earlier this month. The responses reinforce many of Lakota’s practices and strategies for keeping parents, staff and the community informed, but also introduce new ideas and priorities for fine tuning district communications moving forward.

Culturally Diverse:

With 42% of students celebrating their multicultural backgrounds, Lakota provides a culturally-diverse experience where respect and inclusion are taught as core values.

Fiscally Responsible:

Fewer than 5% of all entities that are audited annually earn the "Auditor of State Award with Distinction" - and Lakota has received the honor 10 years in a row. 

1:1 Technology:

Through Lakota's WE are Empowered initiative, all students in grades K-12 have access to their own Chromebook for daily learning.

Dogs of Lakota:

Lakota's pack of ten therapy dogs are wagging their tails around the district, providing therapy and emotional support to even our youngest learners. 

The 4Es:

We believe in preparing every student for success after graduation in one of the 4Es: Enrollment in higher education; Enlistment in military service; Employment as a contributing member of our community; or Entrepreneurship.
