LTHS Student Board Meeting Brief | September 2025

001[Music] Good morning, Porters. I'm Ryan Gleason, one of your student board members here at LTHS, and I'm here to talk to you about the September 15th board of education meeting. To start off the meeting, the board recognized a record-breaking 431 students who earned AP Scholar Honors from College Board. This is an amazing achievement and shows the dedication of my fellow students. The superintendent's advisory council met and decided their topics for the year. James and I presented the four topics that will be further discussed. We are focusing on the possibility of switching to an 8 period day. This would include decisions such as opening up a free period for late start or early dismissal for seniors, the possibility of new classes, and a push for more non-fiction into the curriculum. The student service department is also getting looked at. The school received two grants related to social and emotional learning. So, we're going to be part of implementing those grants. The phone policy is still being looked at as well. We are still learning about the new culture it creates and it will remain part of discussion until then. Lastly, the students in the advisory council are planning to look into the future plans of both East and Central campus as part of the master facilities plan. Classrooms 314 and 316 at Central are soon to be open. Miss Croy gave a presentation about financial budget and the treasury report. The homecoming theme for this year was also announced. Let's glow crazy. Thanks for listening to this month's board of education meeting brief. Stay tuned for the October brief next month. And as always, go Porters.
