Lakeside schools enhance leadership training through Deloitte partnership

Lakeside Union School District is making strides in leadership development and student attendance improvement, as highlighted in the recent Governing Board meeting. The district has invested in ongoing professional development for its principals, sending them to Texas for a leadership series hosted by Deloitte. This initiative aims to enhance leadership skills and foster collaboration among school leaders.

Natalie, a key figure in this effort, has been instrumental in bringing the insights gained from the training back to Lakeside. The principals and classified managers have been actively participating in sessions to apply what they learned, ensuring that the professional development is not a one-time event but a continuous process. Feedback from the principals indicates that these discussions have been valuable, allowing them to tackle challenges collaboratively.

In addition to leadership training, the district is prioritizing student attendance. Each school is required to implement an attendance improvement plan, which is also tied to principal evaluations this year. This focus on attendance is crucial, as it directly impacts student success and engagement.

The commitment to both leadership development and attendance improvement reflects Lakeside Union School District's dedication to enhancing educational outcomes for its students. As these initiatives progress, the district aims to create a more supportive and effective learning environment.
