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 Planning is underway for upgrades to Othello’s Kiwanis Park, which are tentatively scheduled for summer 2024.
City Engineer Shawn O’Brien said that’s the plan, but there are details still to be worked out.
“The schedule is still up in the air,” he said. “The final plan has not been ironed out yet.”
