Welcome to the KLSD Board of Education

Hello,

The Board of Education believes its primary responsibility should focus on creating an educational environment that will help our students become knowledgeable individuals, problem-solvers, quality producers, effective communicators, wholesome individuals, collaborative workers, ethical individuals, life-long learners, and responsible, accepting and involved citizens.

We remain committed to providing a high quality, well-balanced educational program that supports our faculty and staff and helps our students meet and exceed State standards as well as high district goals.

The public sessions of our biweekly meetings are open to all, in person and virtually. Announcements are made on the District's Facebook and Instagram feeds, as well as by email. To receive email notifications of Board meetings and other Board announcements, please sign up here. 

Sincerely,

THE KLSD BOARD OF EDUCATION
