Meeting time is 6:30 p.m. unless otherwise indicated. Other meetings may be called as needed and will be announced consistent with Ohio law.

Effective for the April 3, 2023 meeting, in lieu of the traditional 30-minute public comment section of meetings, the Board will hold a 45-minute community listening session prior to each regular meeting. For more information about how to participate, please see the section below.

Effective for the Jan. 9, 2023 meeting, the Board returned to its pre-COVID practice of not live-streaming meetings. The Board will continue to make the recording of each meeting available in a timely manner via Lakota's YouTube channel (also archived below).

Additional meetings, also known as special meetings, and changes of time may be called, as needed, and will be announced consistent with Ohio law.

Executive Sessions

All school board meetings are open to the public. During regular meetings, the board may call a closed-door session, called an executive session. Ohio law allows executive sessions for discussion only, and only to discuss personnel, property purchases, pending legal action, employee negotiations, or security. The board may not take any votes or other action during executive sessions.

Community Listening Sessions

We welcome comments and questions during community listening sessions which will take place prior to regular board meetings from 5:30-6:15 p.m.

Those who wish to participate during the listening sessions must register before 9 a.m. the day of the board meeting. Attendees can register electronically or in person during regular business hours at Lakota's Central Office (5572 Princeton Road, Liberty Twp.). For those wishing to sign up in person, a PDF will be available on this webpage, or paper forms will be available at Central Office.

Sign up for the community listening session is available when the agenda is posted on BoardDocs until 9 a.m. the day of the meeting.

In general, the board oversees district-wide issues and policies. If you have individual concerns about a specific situation or student, it's best to first talk with the teacher, building principal, or school administrator. Lakota's goal is to work together with parents to resolve issues quickly, and staff members closest to the situation are oftentimes better able to do so.

However, if you still have questions or concerns after working with the staff member, please utilize our Lakota Listens program to reach the appropriate district administrator.

Board Response

If appropriate, the board will occasionally respond immediately to questions or comments, but will often instruct the superintendent or treasurer to do further research and report back to the board and resident.

If you have specific questions, you will receive a response either at the meeting or shortly thereafter. The board wants to ensure that it is fully informed before responding, and so if your questions are not addressed during the listening session or meeting, this does not indicate a lack of interest on the board's part. A response will be forthcoming.

Agendas and Minutes

Board Docs is an easy-to-use solution that replaces the old and costly method of compiling, printing, binding and distributing paper agenda packets for Lakota's Board of Education meetings with an electronic format for document sharing. It also eases public access to meeting agendas, minutes and other school board documents.
