Join us next month...

We will hear from Interim Superintendent, Michael Baumann, about the upcoming school levy and his plans while back in our schools. We will also do our usual around-the-horn updates from the local and elected officials on the call. Access & Issues is open to all members and is the second Friday of every month at 8am via Zoom. If you would like to listen in, email me for the link.

If you have not been to Good Morning Lakeville I encourage you to try it out this month. This is a small group setting where you can make some new connections, enjoy a delicious breakfast and hot coffee, and learn something about our community.

Letter from the Interim Superintendent....

Chamber members,

As important stakeholders in our community I wanted to make sure you were aware of the upcoming community information events Lakeville Area Schools will be hosting regarding the 2024 Referendum, Succeeding Together: Our Students, Our Staff, Our Future. 

I am extending a personal invite to have you join us to learn more about the question that will be on the Nov. 5 ballot, at one of the following community events: 

• Thursday, October 24, 6 p.m., Lakeville South High School, Lecture Hall D-202
• Tuesday, October 29, 6 p.m., Lakeville Area Schools District Office, Oak Room

If you are not able to attend one of the in person meetings, we will also be putting together an on-demand presentation, which will be made available on our website: isd194.org/succeedingtogether. 

I encourage you to take a look at the website, including the FAQs. And if you have any additional questions please reach out to succeedingtogether@isd194.org or 952-232-2096. 

Sincerely, 

Michael Baumann, Interim Superintendent
