LUSD has 8 high schools, 10 middle schools and 38 elementary schools. Dr. Kathy Washer-Nichols is the current Superintendent and the School Board is staffed by 7 members who must live in their respective regions. Members are elected to four year terms. Serving 350 square miles, LUSD was created in 1967 when voters approved a measure to merge 18 elementary districts and a union high school district. The district is a major contributor to the economy of the area, employing over 3,000 people. In addition, over the last 12 years, the district has obtained over $100,000,000 in state bond funds for the construction and renovation of school facilities throughout the district. The district changed from a 'Concept-6' Year Round Calendar to that of a Modified Traditional Calendar in 2006 for most schools in the district with the creation of new schools.
