The Lakota Curriculum and Instruction department invites community members to view the math and English language arts (ELA) materials it will recommend to the Board of Education. A team of Lakota administrators and teachers have vetted several different sources, including the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce mandated ELA materials.

The materials will be available for review at Lakota’s Central Office from March 18-28 and April 1 during regular business hours, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Once visitors have viewed the materials, they are invited to share their feedback with the curriculum department using the forms provided at Central Office. The final recommendations will be presented to the Board of Education for approval in April.
