LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING

As we head into the middle of the 21st Century with record high enrollment, Livingston Public Schools is faced with some important questions. What are the district's future facility needs? What building repairs, improvements and replacements are needed moving forward to provide our students with the best possible education? Livingston Public Schools remains committed to maintaining the legacy of excellence that attracts residents who place a high value on education and who wish to live in a community that exceeds expectations in all areas.

The district has been pro-actively planning for the future in many ways, including closely monitoring enrollment, commissioning a demographic study, working collaboratively with Township of Livingston officials, and establishing a Long Range Facility Planning Committee.

Visit the district's Long Range Facility Planning webpage to learn more about the committee, and view related presentations and press releases.

• SCHOOL LOCKDOWN SAFETY TIPS FOR PARENTS:

  LPS takes school security very seriously and follows all of the safety protocols that are practiced regularly with the Livingston Police Department. These protocol include school lockdowns, which are designed to secure schools and protect students during emergency situations. Parents have a part to play in school lockdown safety as well! See below to learn how parents can contribute to school safety during lockdown situations. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT PARENTS CAN DO TO HELP DURING LOCKDOWN SITUATIONS. 

PROCESS FOR ADDRESSING PARENT CONCERNS:

Livingston Public Schools strives to respond to concerns and/or questions as quickly and effectively as possible. In a school system, as in any organization, the “chain of command” refers to communication levels of authority in the school district.

VIEW THE PROCESS FOR ADDRESSING PARENT CONCERNS.

The philosophy behind the chart in the document is to refer community members to those people in the organization who can best solve any concerns or questions that may arise, and then direct them to the appropriate people if issues are not able to be effectively addressed at the first level. Thank you for your continued partnership!
