001[Music] Hello Porters. This is Avery Kella, your student board member for the 2024 to 2025 school year. Here with a recap of March 17th, 2025 board of education meeting. The board began the meeting by recognizing three student athletes. Olivia Mateek, who competed in the Cherry Bowl state finals and placed third in all state. Justin Wllo, who competed in the IHSA state competition and placed second, and Claudia Heeney competed in the IHSA state competition and placed first and is the is a two-time state champion and three-time state finalist. They recognized all state musicians in both choir and band. These are all great achievements from our students here at Lockport, and we want to thank all the families and staff that came to the meeting to support these students. The LTHs Foundation was able to give over
00260 dresses free of charge from the prom event and this will hopefully become an annual event. A reminder to seniors that scholarship applications are open and due April 4th. Please visit the LTHS Foundation web page and apply. During the legislative report, we learned of some bills that considered establishing a technology advisory board that would focus on new ways AI can be integrated into education effectively. During the superintendent report, Dr. Greenan and Miss Croy presented the 2025 to 2026 licensed staffing plan. Students will hopefully be included in this plan to interview candidates and have a voice in hiring new staff members. Licensed staff include all teachers, deans, counselors, etc. To continue the report, Miss Croy and representatives from both Burgland Construction and DA were present to answer any questions on central campus essential maintenance plan and
003life safety bonds. Both the licensed staffing plan and the issuing of $15 million in life safety bonds were approved later in the meeting. There will be a special board meeting April 3rd to approve bid packages for work on central campus and May 5th to seat new board members. Thank you so much for listening to this meeting's board brief and stay tuned for April's board meeting. As always, go Porters.
