Why Policies?

As administrators, we do not create policies just for the sake of having something on paper. In fact, we think long and hard about each policy that is enacted. These decisions often come after discussions with staff, students and parents. Whether policies are created for the beginning of a new school year or something that we need to improve on during the school year we take seriously our responsibility of making Lakeland a safe environment as well as one where academics is the most important idea so that each student has the ability and the opportunity to succeed in all aspects of high school life as well as when they move on to the next phase.

Administrators will be going into English classes over the next few days to talk with students about some policies that will be enacted next fall and some that will be revamped for second semester. Even though students think we create these policies to punish them this could not be further from the truth. As we unroll these plans we will be sending out listserves with the information as well as putting here on the blog.
