From the LISD Vision . . . “The dignity and well-being of each student is our impassioned dream. Through informed citizenship, our students will build a better tomorrow.”
eet Chris Howard, Truancy Prevention Specialist/School Safety, the March 2016 recipient of the STAFF OF THE MONTH AWARD. Chris Howard exemplifies the LISD vision and belief statements on a daily basis. However, he frequently exceeds these statements through his service to families in our community. For example, when Chris was working with one family in particular, he understood how the family dynamics around homelessness had a negative impact on the student’s attendance. Chris connected this family with Housing Help of Lenawee. Chris frequently connects families with community resources in order to assist families in crisis, rather than focusing on a truancy issue. He approaches truancy as a family issue, not solely as a student issue. Congratulations Chris, for your outstanding contribution to the Lenawee Intermediate School District, which led to your selection for this award.
