LCMS Young Leaders in Action
Young Leaders in Action (YLIA) is a program designed to develop and prepare students for future community support and leadership roles. Middle school teams consist of four students each. The students spend one year working on Project Citizen, a national curriculum designed to promote participation in local, state, and federal government. Students actively engage with public policy and community leaders through their project. By working together with community leaders, these students will help to solve a real problem in their community or school. Their final product will be judged and implemented upon completion. They chose to address the issue of having an AED available during outdoor events. This presentation was made by Jansen Freeman, Amanda Funkhouser, Sidney Hubbard, and Angel Michonski; Mrs. Powell is there sponsor.

Policy 10.2 Citizen Complaints and Suggestions
- The Board believes that a continuing two-way dialogue between the schools and the public is necessary. Citizens wishing to make suggestions should submit them in writing to the appropriate school administrator or the Superintendent or Chairperson of the Board.
- The Board welcomes constructive criticism when such is motivated by a sincere desire to improve the effectiveness of the schools. Complaints should be directed to the administrative unit in which the problem arises. The proper channel for complaints is as follows:
- Teacher,
- Principal,
- School Council, (where operational)
- Superintendent, and
- Board of Education.
Complainant should initially address the problem at the lowest level of involvement and may appeal to higher levels if satisfaction is not achieved. - Complaints appealed to the Board must be in writing and must contain a detailed description of the problem and the redress desired. The Board reserves the right to defer and redirect complaints that have not been explored to the appropriate administrative level.

- Individuals or groups should contact the Superintendent in advance of the next regular meeting in order to be placed on the agenda. If time prohibits advance notice, opportunity to address the Board may be given.
- Persons wishing to address the Board must first be recognized by the chairperson.
- The chairperson may rule on the relevance of the topic to the Board's agenda. The chairperson may also establish time limits for speakers as may be required to maintain order and to ensure the expedient conduct of the Board's business.
