OTHELLO Representatives from Lutacaga Elementary School presented to the Othello School Board on the school’s ongoing priorities and monitoring student success during Monday’s regular meeting following the board’s Feb. 5 site visit to the school.
Lutacaga Principal Christina Benjamin and Assistant Principal Paul Oursland were the primary presenters.
“One thing that we take very seriously is that we really owe it to ourselves, our community and most importantly our students to make sure that we are measuring our impact and knowing that impact,” Oursland said.
Benjamin broke down Lutacaga’s instructional priorities, saying the focus is on being driven by data and feedback for the 2023 to 2024 school year.
OTHELLO Othello School District officials anticipate district enrollment for 2023-24 school year to be the equivalent of about 4,463 students, a decrease of seven students from actual enrollment in the 2022-23 school year. The preliminary budget was presented to Othello School Board members at the Aug. 14 meeting.
