2018 Congressional Art Contest

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Dave Loebsack announced today that online voting to select the 2018 People’s Choice Award winner to represent Iowa’s Second Congressional District in the Congressional Art Contest has now begun. The artwork that receives the most votes will be named this year’s winner and will be displayed in the tunnel leading to the U.S. Capitol for one year. The winning student and one parent or guardian will also each receive a free flight to Washington, D.C. to attend a reception held in their honor (all other expenses must be covered by the winner). This year, Loebsack’s office received nearly 40 entries.

Once again this year, to open the process to as many Iowans as possible, the winner will be chosen by the public. Voting opened Monday April 23rd and will close on Friday, April 27th at 5:00pm CDT. The winner will be notified and announced shortly after.

Highway 61 & 170th St Closure - Now In Effect

The intersection of old US 61 and 170th Street is now closed.

 

The DOT advised us of a schedule for closure of the old US61 /170th street intersection. This schedule is weather dependent. 
 
Timeline
—
Late Week - April 2nd Traffic Control Setup For Detour
Late Week - April 9th Closure IN EFFECT
Week - April 30th Intersection Complete
 
This will significantly affect bus, staff, student, and parent traffic. Add in at least an extra five minutes traveling to and from the school campus. A detour map is attached below. Dynamic message signs will be in place directing traffic to the school. The US61 /170th street interchange will remain open, westbound 170th street traffic will be local only.
 
Highway 305 to the north of us has a wide median but expect delays at this intersection in the afternoon. 170th street has 2,140 vehicles daily, Highway 305 has about 300 cars daily. A lot of additional traffic will be added to that roadway. Cross traffic on X43 does not stop at the 170th street or Highway 305 intersection.
 

Superintendent's Safety Address

L-M Community Members,

Our thoughts and prayers go out to families, community members, and fellow American citizens of Parkland, Florida in the wake of this last month’s event.  It saddens me that we live in a time that we need to be aware and prepared for unthinkable actions like this.  Within the last five years at L-M we have taken several measures to increase that security of our campuses. We have increased our camera capabilities (schools & buses), implemented a buzz-in system at the schools, installed magnetized doors, put in push-button locks on the doors of the elementary, went through the Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate (ALICE) training and have scan card entry technology for staff at the secondary.
