School Board Elections!
Every year LUA holds school board elections. This year elections will be held on Thursday, June 3rd and Friday, 4th from 8:30 - 3:30 both days. All parents and legal guardians of students currently enrolled at LUA, current LUA staff, and current board members are eligible to vote.
There are three positions up for election beginning June 2021:
One teacher seat (1 to 3-year term)
One parent seat (1 to 3-year term)
One community member seat (1 to 3-year term)
There is no experience necessary to serve on the board, only an interest in investing in the future of LUA and the aligned values of #weCODE! Our board meets monthly except during the months of March and July. Additional committee meetings may be required monthly or quarterly.
The Board is responsible for critical activities for the school including:
1.) Financial oversight;
2.) Overseeing the school’s mission, vision, and policies; and
3.) Evaluation of the school director.
If you are interested in Board membership, complete the board application form (available electronically on the school website). Turn in the application form by email (election@levelupacademy.org) no later than 4:00 pm on Friday, May 21st, 2021. The slate of nominees will be announced on the school’s website on Monday, May 24th, 2021. Appointed members will be contacted by the Board Chair and posted on the school website after the elections.
Board service is an excellent way to give back to your community. Thank you for considering this call of service and leadership to ensure the success of Level Up Academy.
New Proposed School Hours 2021-2022
In addition, White Bear Lake approved new school hours for 2021-22. This will affect LUA's school hours due to our transportation partnership. There are two different elementary start times that have been approved. It has been proposed that LUA will follow the later start time with the new hours of 8:30 - 3:00.
If these are our new hours, our schedule would look like this:
- Level Up Club opens at 6:30.
- Doors open at 8:15.
- Students considered tardy after 8:30.
- Car Pick-Up begins at 3:00.
- Car Pick-Up ends at 3:15.
- Level Up Club would run from 3:15 - 5:30.
When we receive confirmation that these are the official times for Level Up, we will let you know!
