In addition to the soccer idea (which I think is great) there is also a need for a volleyball facility (maybe one place can handle both?) With the change of sports seasons for girls (baketball & volleyball) there is now a lack of gym time for off-season volleyball and many people from our area have to drive out to Wixom or Warren just to play good league volleyball. A place in Livonia would attract from all over, including downriver. |

Okay...I guess I shouldn't have compared Livonia to Clarenceville. I believe you are right about the behavior issues. Speaking specifically about LPS, they are not the big draw they used to be. I, too, moved to Livonia for the school system. IMO, my kids are learning less not more (e.g. Everyday Math, Connected Math). I do not like the 5/6 configuration, the added transition or the size of the schools. Plain and simple, LPS is not what it used to be and I don't see things turning around anytime soon. IMO, the decline has occurred over the last 5 years. Sorry for getting off topic. |

Lynda Scheel is serving as President in her fifth year on the Board. Cynthia Markarian is serving her third year on the Board. Robert Freeman is serving his fifth year on the Board. Tom Bailey is serving his fourth year on the Board. Daniel Lessard is serving in his eleventh year on the Board. Dr. Liepa has been the superintendent since 2003. Oops, almost forgot good old Kevin Whitehead. What ever happened to Kevin anyways? What ever happened to his baord table confession that he was still a legal resident of the district and would challenge that residency? Why is it that he no longer has registered voter status in Livonia? Why did the BOE & President Scheel defend him so vehemently when he was actually not a resident? What was up with that? and look where it is noww, another balck mark on the LPS BOE record book. |
