Litchfield School District Observing Dragon Week

Dragon Week is being observed this week in the Litchfield School District. The week, which traditionally is better-known as homecoming, has included all kinds of daily activities and special sporting events.

Superintendent Susan Burris says there was a volleyball game Tuesday night and there will be swimming this evening and a football game Friday night. She says the coronation is tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 and a dance is scheduled for Saturday evening.

Burris says the Litchfield School Board met on Monday evening and heard a report about the MCA scores from District Assessment Coordinator Steph Hansen, and overall, the results were positive with Litchfield students above the state average in most categories. She says the Board approved of the preliminary levy which will decrease slightly from the previous year and the final levy will be adopted in December.

Burris says the Litchfield School Board approved of a piece of equipment for the Career & Tech Ed Department. She says it will provide students with hands-on learning and they will be able to sell items that they produce with proceeds going back into the program’s fund much like the profits that were made when the construction technology students would build a house each year.

Burris says she provided enrollment information to the Litchfield School Board Monday evening which showed the District gaining 11 students this month compared to last May. She says she also thanked the school board members for their time and service and the LEA provided a light meal for them prior to their meeting.
