Ignacio Ruiz, LCPS Superintendent, will share information related to student proficiency rates, budget data, and strategic planning as the district prepares for the 2024-2025 school year.
The district has invited Dr. Richard Carranza, former Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education, as the keynote speaker. Carranza is recognized nationally for his stance on significant issues facing school districts and boasts an educational career spanning over thirty years.
The two-hour event will be livestreamed and feature speeches from students and alumni.
