Superintendent’s Message

Growth Beyond the Classroom

Over February break, I had the privilege of chaperoning 47 of our students on Livonia’s first international educational travel experience in more than a decade, alongside eight outstanding Middle and High School staff members. Spending that week in Costa Rica with our students was an incredible reminder of why opportunities like this matter. I watched students speak Spanish in authentic settings, learn how coffee is produced from start to finish, zipline through the rainforest, and navigate white water rapids. More importantly, I watched them grow.

They tried new things. They supported one another. They asked thoughtful questions about culture, environment, and economics. They represented Livonia exceptionally well. Experiences like this broaden perspective in ways that a classroom alone cannot. They build independence and confidence. They reinforce that learning is not confined to four walls.

That same commitment to expanding opportunity is reflected in the academic work happening here at home. Next year, Livonia Middle High School will introduce 27 new Syracuse University Project Advance courses along with expanded dual enrollment opportunities. We are also continuing our commitment to cover the tuition costs for both SUPA and Genesee Community College courses. This is a significant investment. We believe access to college credit should not depend on a family’s financial circumstances. When students can graduate with meaningful college credits at no cost, it changes trajectories.

At the same time, we are beginning the planning process for our next capital improvement project, with a community vote anticipated in December of 2026. Strong programs require strong facilities. Over the coming months, we will evaluate building needs, safety considerations, and long-term efficiency. Just as with our academic planning, this work will be thoughtful and transparent. We will seek input and keep the community informed as plans take shape. Whether we are sending students across the globe, expanding college-level coursework, or planning for the future of our facilities, the focus is the same. Prepare our students well. Invest responsibly. Keep moving forward.

Thank you for your continued support of Livonia Central School District.

Best,
Dr. Jeremy Lonneville
