Strategic Planning Meeting Scheduled to Discuss Conference Options

On Monday February 27th district patrons are invited to join the Loup City Board of Education for a strategic planning meeting to discuss LCPS’s conference affiliation options.  Loup City is a founding member of the Lou Platte Conference, which was first organized the 1950’s. Other schools in the Lou Platte Conference are: Adams Central, Centura, Doniphan / Trumbull, Gibbon, Kearney Catholic, Ord, Ravenna, St. Paul, and Wood River. At the strategic planning meeting, the Loup City School Board will consider whether or not the Lou Platte Conference remains the right fit for our school.

Recent discussions among the Board, staff, and students have involved enrollment figures, travel distance, activity offerings, and future stability of the Lou Platte and surrounding conferences. The Loup City Public Schools have been approached by representatives of the Goldenrod, Fort Kearney, and Loup Valley Conferences to inquire about our district’s interest in possibly joining one of those conferences.

We have conducted discussions with and surveys of our staff and students regarding conference affiliation over the past few months. The Loup City Board of Education would like to use this strategic planning meeting to gather information and field questions from the public as the Board considers this issue for possible future action.

Information pertaining to the Lou Platte, Goldenrod, Fort Kearney, and Loup Valley conferences is posted on the Loup City Public Schools website http://blog.loupcity.k12.ne.us/ .

Please plan to join us at this strategic planning meeting to listen and be heard on this important issue.
