LAKEVIEW SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Board of Education for Lakeview School District (Battle Creek, Mich.) is seeking a Superintendent of Schools for this remarkable district whose board, administration and staff have made an unparalleled commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
Located in Battle Creek in beautiful, southwestern Michigan, Lakeview School District enjoys collaborative partnerships with Calhoun ISD, higher education institutions and community organizations, including the Burma Center, Voces, Calhoun Area Career Center, Kellogg Community College, Western Michigan University, Guido A. and Elizabeth H. Binda Foundation, the Battle Creek Community Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. An F1 Visa school, the district annually serves approximately 4,000 students in its K-12 programs, including international students. Students attend classes in one of seven district buildings, including a middle school (grades 5-8), four elementary schools (grades preK-4) and a state-of-the-art high school, which includes an 11-lane competition pool, a unique performing arts space and an open concept media center. The district recently completed the implementation of a $30 million voter-approved capital project and is in the early stages of implementing a more recent, voter-approved $47 million capital project. Together, both projects are leading to the renovation of all four elementary schools and the middle school in addition to providing technological and infrastructure advancements across the district.
Lakeview School District offers true 21st century educational opportunities and programming for students, staff and community members as driven by its mission to develop knowledgeable, healthy, responsible citizens who contribute and flourish in the global community. Lakeview students have excelled academically, athletically and in the fine arts over the district’s 100-year history. Spartan athletes have celebrated state and regional championships and the Lakeview DECA chapter is one of the most successful of its kind in Michigan.
The Board of Education has an ongoing investment toward creating a culture of equity in the district. Lakeview routinely provides equity-related training for district staff and this effort continues to deepen appreciation for the growing diversity in the district’s schools and also strengthens the commitment to meeting the needs of all students.
