The district often asks for input from parents and community members. The following questions are frequently asked through the school's websites, focus groups, parents, the LPSD website and PTA meetings.

Why do the Lake Park Public Schools have such a strict attendance policy?

All Lake Park Public Schools parents are encouraged to have their children be present at school daily. The district believes that students can only be educated and learn at high levels when they are present and participating in the classroom each day. Federal and state governments also have requirements for student attendance. Current responsibility measures demand high attendance for all of our students to become triumphant and able to take part in a worldwide economy upon graduation.

What is Lake Park Public Schools doing to ensure up-to-date and adequate technology resources within the schools?

The LPSD Chief Information Officer (CIO) has mandated the development of a ‘customer service’ strategic plan. One of the core goals of the plan is to address the customer perception of equipment within the district. The plan includes an IT Council – Adopt-a-Site, customer surveys and representation at major meetings. The key part, however, is the re-configuration of the department’s technical support team and reallocation of current resources to ensure enhanced coverage in all of our schools.

What is Lake Park Public Schools doing to ensure that students receive nutritious meals?
